I'm not here to toss dirt on the 2016 Prius which is a fine car. The 2017 Prius ECO will be much improved as the TSS-P (automatic braking safety) will be (or should be!) available. Had that car been available, I would have bought it. But something happened when I saw the dealer quote.
I had been looking at the BMW i3-REx which is starting to come off of lease. The base models are selling for ~$24.5-$30k which happened to be in the same price range as the local dealer offered the Level 3 with TSS-P. Using eBay, I found one and will pick it up on Friday to drive home.
Understand it was not price but a long list of requirements never met. We are not getting rid of our 2010 Prius but it will soon be our second car.
