2011 Yaris Hybrid?

[why?]

they'd make the Yaris a hybrid because the mileage would be even better than the prius. And more importantly, they would price it around $10,000 less than the prius.

how would the mileage be better? The prius has the same engine as the yaris, yes the yaris is lighter, but not with another battery in it. There is just a certain point where smaller and cheaper is not better, but just crap. If you really need better gas mileage go buy a 250cc bike or a ruckus. even better, buy a go-kart and fab some panels over a frame and add some plexiglass.
