Interior volume does not make a big car. . .just look at the Smart (seats 4).
fwiw:
Prius Length x Width; 175x67.9"
1966 Ford Galaxy: 210x79
On a figure-eight track, which car would you want to be driving?

John, you are arguing
overall safety because you don't want to concede the point. ...that a pious loses the "matter in motion" game. ...The pious is not a big car (like the Ford Galaxy -Sammys point)
I'm not saying that your pious is w/o merit, as Econo-boxes go... just that it IS an Econo - box." ...I don't even doubt that it is spacious... for an Econo-box. I also don't doubt that it gets good mileage...for an Econo-box (like Chris mentioned, the 80's VW rabbit)
