Please stop propagating lies.
It is not the same with the Prius. At least not as far as energy consumption is concerned.
In case of a car the energy consumption in manufacturing is on average an order of magnitude smaller than the energy consumption during its use. We are talking 10% of total consumption vs more than 80%. You can refer to page 10 of these notes (pdf) to see the figures for an average family car.
In case of assessing energy impact of various stages of product manufacturing common sense will never help you. You just have to do the calculations.

This reminds me of an old joke about Russian scientists. Here it goes:
Russian scientists decided to do an experiment on a fly. They put it on a table and asked it to walk. The fly walked as expected. Then they cut off one of its legs and asked to walk again. The fly walked, but obviously a little but more slowly. They repeated the procedure, and when the fly had half of its legs cut off it was only crawling on the table. When they removed all of its legs, it stopped reacting to calls to walk. They wrote down their conclusion: fly lost its hearing upon having all the legs removed.
