    Actually, even funnier: these Prii replace two Land Rovers. LOL

    My god! How much money per year do you envision saving on just Gasoline and Maintenance/Repairs? My understanding is that the Range Rover isn't exactly a trouble free brand of vehicle.

    well, maintenance wasn't so bad, as I did a lot of it. But between the two LRs, we had 220K miles. That's 22,000 gallons of premium fuel that we went thru. It's infuriating.

    Pretty much flushing money down the proverbial toilet. Scary to think that your monthly fuel bill will likely be less than 20% of what it once was.

    yeah, the C and the V combined fuel cost is about half of what I would spend on one LR.

    I had a similar experience: I thought the C was a way cuter car, and I liked the price. But the seat comfort comparison between the Gen 3 and the C was the deal breaker. Now that I have the Gen 3 (trim 4, Sea Glass Pearl, light grey softec seats), I can't remember what I ever saw in the C!

    Enjoy!
