    Hello all, i am new to the forum. Long story short it looks like i will be purchasing a 2005 prius soon. I WAS going for the Insight but as that is impossible to find in my area to test out .. the prius is number 2 on teh list.

    Anyways my question is, what is the emissions rating on the vehicle? i have read its SULEV II and i have read its PZEV(sp?) .. i have also come across that there might be 2 different version of the emissions out.

    (on a side note wich is better.. the PZEV right?)

    As you can guess i am gettin the car for environmental reasons.

    Sorry if this answer has been posted but searching thru the forum got me nowere and there was WAY to many for me read :)

    thanks for the help

    there is a much better page, but i can not find the link. It compairs the hybrids with a bar graph. The prius has about the same emissions as the insight. I was thinking of getting that too.. but for the cost of running the car, the prius is cheaper. at my age (21) i need the best investment for my money. The polution levels are very close. The prius is much large and had the added bonus of electric a/c system.
