    Developing countries can ill-afford expensive "green" tech.
    IMHO, you mentioned this. Thats why I mentioned Japan. Japan is a first world country. And they are using Prius. And they can afford it.

    So, I disagree by posting that article in Japan regarding the increasing sales of Prius.

    I would rather get the Toyota Vios 1.3L ... practical, frugal on the fuel and costs less than 50% of the price of the Prius which means you have money for gasoline for the next decade.
    On the other hand, I agree on the second.

    Its because with a price tag of 2 million pesos (Toyota Prius), you are correct, developing countries like the Philippines can ill afford it.

    Regarding your last statement, Im really considering Vios instead of buying an Adventure diesel.
