Your're lukcy... we never got that car in South Africa... I don't even know if the Lean-Burn Honda engines made it this side at all because of our fuel quality. Our second-hand car market is also exceptionally strong, since few people can afford brand new cars. I would hazard a guess that many second hand cars here with 60 000km on the clock can be had brand new in the US for the same price. Last time I checked the Toyota Prius cost almost twice as much here as it does in the US. Let's hope however than the increased push towards more fuel efficient vehicles by almost all manufacturers helps to keep things calm-ish at least.
