    If not a Prius, then it would have been the new Subaru Impreza Wagon

    Me too, I probably will get a BRZ early next year. Cool car for the $ and decent milage for a sports car

    We just swapped my wife's 07 Yaris for a 2010 Prius. We were originally looking at a2011 Hyundai Elantra wagon, then started looking at the sedan due to much better MPG... thinking all along we couldn't afford a Prius.

    When I finally did look at the Prius (lowering my sights slightly to 2010), I realized it would take about 3 years for the fuel savings to make up the additional cost. That's not accounting for the difference between 2010/2011 or the residual value difference.

    Our other car ("my" car), a 2001 VW Golf TDI. As you can see, we are a high-MPG family. :)

    That's a tough one. If we were trying to go to one car- then a Subaru Impreza or Honda CR-V.

    If we keep the RAV4- then probably a Honda Civic or Fit.

    Me too! But Camry had a really boring interior. It wasn't any fun to drive. It's like a slice of unbuttered toast. My kids did like its larger backseat, but they also prefer Prius. They said Prius is a cool car for your parents to drive. (Northern California really is different).

    Exactly my choices, really wanted a Fit, but found a certified Prius to look at on the way to the Honda dealer, then planned on the Mazda 5 if no deal on the Fit. Went to Toyota first and drove the Prius, way more car than I expected so salesman drove my Lexus home, 75 miles, followed by their mechanic to haul him back.

    A Chevy Cruze Eco. A friend has one and it's a pretty nice car.
