YES, IT WAS! for some reason, when i pasted this info, part of it didn't 'copy'.

everything from the Prius and after are HYBRIDS!!!

They mention lifetime fuel?, But it is for 8 years of premium fuel.

They should do a 10 year and include a possible cost for hybrid batteries.

Thought I read they could cost 4-5k?
I would like to own a hybrid, but dont want to spend 4k on a battery if it had to be replaced.

If you figure in the price for a well equipped cabrio, the smart sinks to 10th or so. Of course, I imagine all of these cars are suppose to be the base models? But I would suspect once you get a little deeper into the list, you get a little more for your money. Ideally the comparo should consider equally equipped cars for an accurate comparison.

(But even at 18 grand, I'd still take the smart!)

And on some cars ABS is optional as is traction control.....a base smart is usually more better equipped than most cars.
