Took a look at the Toyota Prius last night ...

It drives very nice!!

But unfortunately in California if you want the nice steroe option you also have to get the navigational system, in other words the package that has what most people would want is not available in California according to Antioch Toyota.

I am going to check at other dealerships to see what they can do at getting a Package 5.

The whole point of getting a Hybrid is to lower my insurance, car payment, nad gas bill so I do not want to have a high car payment again because of all the damn options!

We want the Side-curtain airbags, and alarm, but really do not need the $3000 navigation system, I can read a map!

So we will see what we find.

The other inexpensive car that we are considering is the new (non-box) Scion, it looks a lot better and I need to check the gas mileage.

Anyone have either a Prius or a new Scion and want to share any experiences?
