>>>nothing beats the Prius.<<<
Did you look at the Jetta TDI? More room, a real trunk, nice firm German handling, non-weird styling and a time-proven turbo diesel engine that goes 300,000 miles +. I routinely average 43MPG and can achieve over 50MPG if I keep it under 65MPH.
I was listening to an interview the other day with the President of Smart USA. He was asked about MPG and he said it hasn't been certified yet but that it would get mid-40MPG. I laughed out loud. The Smart car is a 2-seat shoebox and gets the same mileage as a 5-passenger TDI and everybody's applauding it??????????
I predict there will be a lot of trend setters trading in their Prius's for a Smart car next year
