Suddently you made me want to get an old Volkswagen with a rusted body to be replaced with a fiberglass Prius replica
But considering a VW driveline into a regular Prius body without any electrical auxiliary power, I'd have my doubts about this setup in city traffic, but might be not so difficult to achieve 38MPG on highway.
