The dealer didn't have any Priui on the lot as I drove by, so I went and tried to make a deal with the VW guy. He was very proud of the TDI, to the point that even though he had next year's model already coming in, would not budge from the sticker. I had noted on the way to Shreveport that diesel was edging up higher in price than gasoline, so I decided to hold off. I stopped at Toyota on the way out of town, and spotted a blue Prius on the lot. Turns out it was a "factory car" with 13,000 miles on it. They gave me an excellent price considering the waiting lists, and I drove it home. Never been sorry. -- Regards, Sonny http://www.sonc.com Natchitoches, Louisiana USA On Tue, Oct 28, 2008 at 3:29 PM, Frank Dernie <Frank.Dernie@btinternet.com>wrote: > It is about the same weight and size as a Passat, roomier cabin though. > Round town it is better, on the motorway a bit noisy and sluggish.
