2011 Prius?

They're already full alloy wheels, just remove the plastic covers. The 15" wheels might look whimpy (no matter what quality wheel covers), but that's why some of us spring for the 17" wheel V.

 

Wow thats $ 38,000 for a base prius in europe.Glad i dont have to pay that here !

 

When we start paying the carbon tax that is currently being discussed look out, your electric bill that is coal based will skyrocket, and there goes the advantage cost wise for a plug in. Plus if you are concerned about the enviroment then coal based electric is very bad.

Lastly the plugin in will be real pricy I would bet at least until they get a few years of making them behind us.

 

Well, the "base" version in EU is likely a III or IV in the US. It is not a stripped down version - the one they sell in the UK is a good example of what you get in Germany as well as a "base" version.
And the price has 19% VAT included, so for a fair comparison the price would be about $31000.

 

I would really luv to see the safety connect services and Nav Traffic all built into the upfront total price and life of the car and remove the Subscription fees.

A bump up in tires for the III and IV to 16in Rims. Its kinda of ridiculous to have a $30K car i.e IV+Sunroof. with 15in Rims.

Those tires are cheap to replace but doesn't give the car any due luxury.
