You are incorrect. Prius C in 2005 was $21,510 (not really "less expensive") and that is about $34,827.67 in 2025. (See: https://www.kbb.com/toyota/prius/2005/ https://www.kbb.com/toyota/prius/2005/)
And in 2025 Prius starts from $28,350 (see: https://www.toyota.com/prius/ https://www.toyota.com/prius/)
So this narrative that there are no more cheap cars is incorrect.
- VerminOctopus1 1y agoComparing one model (which actually isn’t even the same model) over time doesn’t make sense. Also you’re moving the goalposts here, $28,350 base is not “cheap”
- tlogan 1y agoYes - it is not cheap now. But it was NEVER cheap (as implied in the comment).
- Glyptodon 1y agoI never referenced 2005. Prius C was ~$19k in 2012. It didn't have a 2005 model. You are confusing vehicles.
