I don't understand - whats wrong with the Prius ? It's kinda crappy in NY winters but you can deal with it if your a good driver. Get's great gas mileage and isn't bad looking... You said yourself, Toyota has solved the direct injection carbon buildup - ??<p>Mines pushing almost 90k miles. My next car will be an SUV simply because I do a lot of DIY around the house and buying 6 60lb bags of concrete at a time kinds sucks but Home Depot is all of 3 miles from my house, so I deal...
