    Most Prius also come with an "owner", and sometimes one or more "other users". These are often conveniently equipped with the auto-lose feature, which makes short work of eliminating any pesky extra keys.

    GM and other vehicles also have the push button "smart key" feature. What happens if you lose one of those keys? Gee, wouldn't you have the same problem........ It's NOT JUST Toyota:cool:
