The Prius C is labeled a "C" for city. Not practical for Manitoba which is still mostly rural outside of Winnipeg

However, the little old retired school teacher driving it seemed to think she she was sitting on top of the world. I don't think she knows it is for going to church on Sunday mornings, only.

N4PIP All-Star Author Miami Posts:880 Points:415,295 Joined:Jan 2012	Message Posted: Apr 14, 2012 9:53:52 PM Ignore N4PIP Report Abuse I find it hard to believe that the Honda Civic Hybrid isn't listed. Local dealers in my area are selling them as soon as they arrive at the dealership. For those that say that hybrids cost too much, or are not practical, what do you base those opinions on? You can buy a Honda Insight or Toyota Prius C for under $20,000 new. Why aren't they practical? The cabin space is just as roomy as any other car in their class. They can go the same distances as non-hybrid cars. So, what's the problem? I think that some of the people who have negative attitudes toward hybrids and electric vehicles should do their homework.
