The Prius V my wife has is the wagon version.
Most do not spot it as a Prius.

Sounds like you’ve done due diligence.

Assuming fuel prices remain low, there will be screaming deals
on small cars, hybrids, and electrics.

Because mfgrs are forced to sell them to meet govt fuel econ mandates, and when gas is cheap folks migrate to larger SUVs and pickups.

and if I’m dropping $10-20k on a vehicle I’m getting a Jeep Wrangler instead.

Had a family acquaintance that said the same thing about a smaller Suv hybrid many moons ago. While he was leasing it, it was fantastic. When the lease ran out he was back to a conventional gas vehicle. This was when gas was hovering above $3.00 for most blends.

Regular unleaded was $1.39 in my area, a couple days ago. I do not know if the price is the same today.

I filled up my little pickup for 20 bucks this week.
$1.39 / gal.

That’s close to what the price was when it was new (1999)
