Automotive News say 2010 Prius will be.....

That's true. So far, two seats and decent cargo suffices. Parking isn't too much of a problem but I have already utilised the smart's short length in a number of street-side parking spots.

But the Prius will appeal to the techy side of me plus it's gonna be more fuel efficient than the smart and it's a lot more flexible (I can put a mountain bike in there) and c'mon, EV mode is just awesome. I can't seem to P&G with the smart. The gearing is so short that lifting off the accelerator induces moderate engine braking.

I was wondering where your Prius went cause it wasn't listed in the sig.
