1. An accident in the Prius is, joule for joule, more survivable than one in that Sentra.
2. The Prius is more environmentally friendly than the Sentra in terms of emissions.
3. The Prius is more comfortable and quieter to drive, and has more amenities than the Sentra.

Edit: I know I'm playing devil's advocate against your point, which was the same thing I was espousing just a few posts up. That's just how I roll. smile
