Why would you buy this if you can just pay a grand more and get the Prius, which gives you 7+ mpg?

But thats not really an "Apples to Apples" comparison. The cost delta is more like 2,000-3,000. But in the end, I agree with your conclusion. For relatively small gap in price, the Prius gives you more interior room AND more MPG with similar performace and look. Furthermore, the Prius has alot more options on the top end...

That's a delta I wouldn't mind paying. Why didn't they just put the smaller engine into the Civic (which would cut down its engine mass and battery mass) which would cut down the price?

Same goes for Camry. The Camry Hybrid is $25k, but its 150 HP. They couldn't make a $20k, 90-100 HP version?
