It might compete with the Insight, but not with the Prius...that things a 2 door sub-compact, the Prius a 4-door mid-size. 3.0 L/km = 60.3 MPG --more like the Insight 12.8 sec. 0-100km time is about the same as the 0-60mph time--more like the insight. I honestly see nothing about this thing that is comparable or competative with Prius.
