Toyota lost their minds. The Prius is so confusing to drive, it has a weird transmission and is weird to start up the car. They really would think people would purchase a Prius at a $8,000 markup fee that tops out $34,000. For the same price you can buy a brand new 2007 BMW 328i sedan with automatic transmission. Also, my friend owns a 2005 Prius and he says the best he gets is 40 mpg on the highway and 30 mpg in the city. Not to mention this car looks ugly inside and out. My
advice would be if you have $34,000 and you don't care about getting good gas mileage, buy a brand new 2007 BMW 328i. If you are concerned, buy a brand new 2007 Chevy HHR or a brand new 2006 Mini Cooper. You'll pay less than $20,000 for either one and still get excellent gas mileage.
