All I know is I dont know why people call it small.
Its big and tall and bulky, and if im not mistaken they seem to get bigger with each gen.
compared to my little celica this thing is hunge
my car be
Length 170.5 in (4331 mm)
Width 68.3 in (1735 mm)
Height 51.4 in (1306 mm)
and prius be
Length 175.33 in (4450 mm)
Width 67.97 in (1725 mm)
Height 58.71 in (1490 mm)
Longer and taller much taller
that dome top just looks odd
but a smaller car would be perfect
even with the added weight of the motor and drivetrain adjustments
with the car being smaller and lighter than its counterpart prius
the electric motor will not need to work as much to move it
althoe this is just my speculation and wishfull thinking
maybe you got some weird math calculations back there i dont got
if yah do post them up, im always willing to learn more about toyotas hybrid system

Size is definitely one thing... but I just don't want/need or want to pay for the 6" LCD in the middle of the Prius or the LED gauges, or the touch button start. Give me a Corolla CE interior, with a Key, and hybrid system. (only change is like the camry hybrid, where there's a MPG gauge instead of the Tach.)

actually those are there as a added bonus
toyota dont add them to jack up the price
they placed them there so people wouldnt feel ripped off paying for the prius
if they removed them prius would still be the same price
