    They used the term "investment" a lot in there, but I guess they used "Cost of Ownership" as well.

    It would have been better for them to compare say... a Honda Civic (Gasoline) with the Honda Civic (Hybrid) or the Prius. The Fit is more comparable to a Yaris - maybe they should wait for a Yaris hybrid to come out...

    Interesting that they make the Prius sound good. I find that rather surprising for people who normally drool over horsepower and brand name. Perhaps there's some hope after all. :D

    Prius comparo with Fits?

    Prius is EPA stated mid-size ( the beginning size )
    Fits is _Sub-Compact_ !

    The Yaris hatch back should be compared to the Fits!
    Let compare size for size and ICE for ICE.

    Corolla (compact )
    Civic ( compact )

    Yaris subcompact.
    Fits subcompact.

    Define "Volkswagon Diesel" model e.g. it would be silly to compare VW Golf to Toyota Prius since they are not in the same class. Refer to Driving Television :: Car Review Videos
    VW Jetta TDi (manual, med size) vs Toyota Prius (med size) vs ...
