The Prius I, whatever its contents, will likely be similar to the LX in features (or lack thereof), and is supposedly going to be $1000 or more less than the $22k Prius II.
And that's not entirely true...

The Prius I does not and will not ever exist for the general public.

Furthermore, the Prius II's price just increased to $22,400.

Furthermore, Toyota's destination charge is higher than Honda's.

Net price difference on a Prius II vs and Insight is really about $1250 (plus tax, and good luck finding one without a markup).
