I remember the 2C engine was still prevalent in Diesel-powered Corollas when the first Prius was released. It's still available brand-new in Paraguay, not sure about its current availability in Uruguay, but was still more expensive than a gasser Corolla. Diesels still have a higher price tag than a gasser counterpart, altough a Diesel with a conventional driveline is less expensive than a hybrid gasser.
