You;d have to drive the dang thing 500k miles just to recoup your fuel costs.

I said Yaris
size. So it would be equivalent to a Yaris diesel in some respects (mpg). I'm guessing the price will reflect the size. So maybe 15k and up. Toyota has made it clear they want to make this hybrid system not only cheaper to make and economical but also cheaper price for the customer. So I'm guess down the line by then they are able to sell "cheap hybrids." as it will be a more developed technology. I'm guessing the bigger Prius will be around 20 to 25k. Who know's if that will be much with inflation by that time, if that makes sense. Of course with the economy who's know where we will be at. Hopefully better of course.
Cheers!
