    That's exactly what he said. "Unless you're wealthy..."

    The gas mileage difference is not great enough to warrant the purchase and I'm sure the fit and finish of your lift back is better. However, if gas prices spike really high this year you may be able to sell your lift back for enough money to justify a new c. :)

    If your looking for a smaller car, makes sense. You may like getting car every couple of years... 2010's do have great resale value... some nice features, it's really up to you..

    I'm glad the Prius C is creating the buzz, and it's selling like gangbusters in Japan... May be a hot commodity here in states, unfortunately for those that want one ...
