Midsize Sedans 2.0

Actually the cargo cover is standard on the Prius, always has been AFAIK.
 
Yes, that is one way to keep prices up, by limiting supply. There was a tongue-in-cheek comment in the C/D review about Chevy saying that the Malibu hybrid is "very limited availability." C/D remarked something to the effect of that won't be a problem as not many people will buy it.

Not to change the subject from the hybrid debate, but I saw this advertised today.

What do you think? Will this help spur sales? Would this or maybe something similar from another manufacturer make a buying decision easier for you if you were on the fence? Just curious.

That's good to know. When I ordered a 2004 Prius in late 2003, the only option on it was SABs and I could swear it had the cargo cover. I suppose if you bought a base Prius you could just buy a cargo cover on eBay etc.--but maybe that would blow the entire value proposition of the car in your eyes?

Some don't like moonroofs. There may be some that don't want a cargo cover. Hard to believe, isn't it?
