That's regardless of how much nicer it's styled (to my eye) than the Civic sedan.

Prius sales were at their lowest point (last year) since the debut of the 2004 model.
I do sense your humor.

If you want to find the reason for anything, follow the money.

With gas prices being low now for about 3 years, off-lease trucks and Suv's have now reached to the used market where they are being snatched up instead of gas sipping cars. So with a growing number of vehicles in use returning relatively low mpg numbers, it is the PERFECT time (for the oil industry) for gas prices to rise.

Supply and demand, supply may be high but demand is rising and any slowdown in supply will have a greater effect.
