    Can't get another Prius V because Toyota's greed for a larger wagon at an increased 25,000 price tag starting in the 50K and going up they weren't going to have the smaller wagon cutting into their big profit cars. I only hope and pray that Hyundai and Honda move into the smaller wagon hybrid that Toyota discarded. Toyota is greedy like GE who had the best electric car but their greed at losing profits and not making enough profit killed GEs car. People had to turn theirs in. GE didn't want them on the road because they made less money for GE. I only hope that happens to the Kluger which replaced the prius V. These Rav 4 are even more expensive than Prius and they have less fuel economy and not much greater storage room. I looked at the Honda Accord hybrid but it's not a challenge to the Prius. I've been a loyal customer for Toyota for 20 years but that is gone now. I want to find a carmaker that offers what the Prius V was a great hybrid small wagon with good storage and good fuel milage. I would have driven mine forever until it gave out I took such good care of that car.

    2016 or 17 v or 2021 or newer rav4 hybrid.

    It was GM that only leased their early evs, not GE.

    The new Corolla Hatch hybrid would be a possible alternative. A Rav4 Prime offers well over 100 mpg equivalent and is a far superior vehicle in all respects that has not yet depreciated like normal cars.

    I wouldn’t get too mad at them. Just get a new Br4z or whatever it is called. No more gas.
