Three Cylinder Radial For ICE In Prius?

I've read that a radial engine (Radial, not rotary) is lighter and more powerful than an inline engine of the same cylinder number and displacement.What are the objections to a horizontally mounted three cylinder radial engine in place of the inline four the Prius comes with? Any idea of the fuel efficiency comparisons? All I can find is Hours per gallon numbers.
