>>>>>>>>>Too bad they can't make a hybrid (or any other high MPG vehicle) that competes with Toyota or Honda.

>>>>>>Prius came my country last year. Sorry but it's so ugly car. Honda Civic hybrid we selling there from years. It's a more beatiful car.

>>>>>I got used to its look. First it looked like a tennis shoe to me. But then I liked the concept - this is not a hybrid car pretending to look like a regular car (as in case of the Civic), but a computer with engines and wheels, which proudly refuses to imitate a regular car. It's a car with an OS, no less.

>>>>>But it's still too expensive. I briefly considered it last time I was buying a car, and 1) there were hardly any used* ones for sale, 2) the ones that were, were about 50% above the price I eventually paid for a Matrix.

>>>>I paid about 23K out the door for my Prius II new last summer. The gas savings make it a much better deal for me than a $5k less vehicle that gets 33% less MPG - I put a lot of miles on my cars.

>>>Interesting. The base Prius here is about £21K - which would equate to around $33.5K
>>>A friend of mine had one. I liked it but couldn't justify it on economic grounds.
>>>I bought a little 1100cc car that is surprisingly nippy and fun to drive, cost under £6K, and is supposed to achieve 65mpg.
>>>Could have bought five of them for the price of a Prius......

>>And that car was ?

>I had to go look at the Label. It's a Hyundai i10.
>TBH I bought it without seeing or driving it. Figured if I didn't like it I could always flog it without losing much. In point of fact I really like it. It was only intended as a run-about but my wife managed to pack her sister, two kids, all the luggage and a guitar into it an drive to the S. of France.....
so you married a midget who never changes her clothes.....
