When I was shopping the local Toyota salesman suggested that due to the price difference (~CA$10,000 + 13% taxes + loan interest here in Canada) the Prius would be no cheaper than the Yaris over the life of the car. Granted it is a "nicer" car, but I try to keep my vehicles for 10+ years and the prospect of replacing those expensive batteries during that period was not appealling. I wonder how the Prius' trade-in values will be after 6+ years when the original batteries are reaching there end-of-life. Cha-Ching $$$
