That would make it cheaper than the 2012 Civic HF and the 2012 Prius C, and it would do better on fuel than the former and maybe as well as the latter. Seems like it would be a real challenge to the market as it stands right now, no?

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
