sir carlo, wala bang FC assessment ang local toyota dealers nyan?

None yet. They claim 35 km/l in Japanese urban testing, but British testing puts it around the 20's in typical urban crawling, where Honda Cities would be doing 17's.

well in that recent British test on paultan.org the Hyundai Getz diesel bitch-slapped the Prius in fuel economy and exhaust emissions per kilometer.

not to mention the Prius is environmentally heavy due to the heavy metals used in its construction and the difficulty of disposing of it properly.

if you want to be friendly to the environment a Honda City or Jazz or a Getz diesel is probably the best deal. the Prius is if you want to make a statement about your tree-hugging proclivities.

With diesel, patay ka nga lang sa idling and super heavy-traffic.

The Prius would still be better on that front.

I'd say wait for newer models that improve battery efficiency.

Or you can wait for a diesel-hybrid which is the best solution before we go into full-electric or fuel cell in the next 20 years.
