http://www.autonews.com/articl.../1499I'm still a year or two away from needing something new, but options like this are encouraging. The photo in the article doesn't tell the story that this one does:

I would consider this as a future Vibe replacement, when the time comes, espacially if they offer it in that 40 m.p.g. package.I looked at one when I had my Vibe in for the ECM recall, and I was impressed with how nice the car was.

In Europe, they are putting diesels in these, shooting the MPGs well beyond 40. Let's hope an option will exist for those that so wish...

I might consider this if it scores higher than the Prius v in tests and reviews. I'd even consider diesel if it was an option and got the proper mpg that a diesel should get (50-70 mpg would be the cats rear).
