I'm interested in the plug-in prius, but unfortunately even searching 300mi away from my zip code I only found one 2012 model selling for $23k. To be honest I only bought the leaf because my fuel is free, due to my university having several free plug-in spots on campus. I'll have graduated by the time my lease is up, so I don't know if the electric option will be as appealing.
Honestly searching the market is really frustrating, especially when looking at Honda over the last decade. They cancelled and then completely changed what the insight was/is, refuse to bring over their engine start/stop technology, and they won't bring the hybrid fit to the states (for some reason we get the EV model though?). They've also come out with the ridiculous cr-z which has dreams of being a fuel conscious sportscar? They could have made a super lightweight fuel sipping hybrid coupe (like the original insight) and had a whole market segment to themselves. I should stop now before I just get completely lost in a rant about things.
While we're wishing for future vehicles, here's to hoping the Elio works out. Outside of being a hybrid it's almost exactly what I'd design if I had my choice.
