Impressive.  An average of nearly 61 MPG (3.85L/100km) for a car that size.

I hope it comes in a wagon ( please square of the back) and if I could avg 6 l/km in a large car then a Prius and fit 6 ft ladders in the would be great

New Prius van might fit the bill for you?

Has anyone noticed how these manufacturers that have hybrids always do their press test drives in a warm climate? 

Give me a hybrid to test for a week in January.  In Winnipeg.  I could supply Canadian Driver with an article.

That would be a waste, you only drive 1,000 km a year 
I am over 35,000 year that would a better waste of their money and then I can also compare to a prius

I started a new job in October that has me commuting again.  So, now I'm up to 2,000 km a year.

Incredibly impressive. If I ever get tired of putting gas in the 300C, this would make for a damn cheap way to run up all those highway miles that I do. No where near as much fun, but slogs on the 401 at 120KM/H are not much fun anyway.

If you dig a stick, a chipped Jetta TDI would be fairly amusing.  We *MIGHT* be pulling the trigger on a 2011 Jetta TDI for IQs new work car.  While her 2002 Accord Coupe has been perfect, we want better MPG..and she MUST have a stick.  So our options are limited...

Just a matter of getting over the diesel thing for me. Then again, I've gotten over my early Hyundai experiences too, so anything is possible.

Nice thing about the TDI would be the torque. And I am a torque loving kind of guy.

Do you get pais mileage?
This thing could pay for it self quickly

let's not forget the same team got similar mileage from the NA Sonata as well, which is several thousand dollars less expensive to buy.
