Eric,

I am in full agreement with your wish for a choice in engine for the highlander. I don't need either neck cracking accelleration or towing capacity so a 4-cylinder choice would suit my needs. I would also like a 4-wheel drive Prius option as well.

One thing though, why does your chart show lower MPG for the 4-wheel drive version? I thought that the back wheels are EV-only and there is a higher battery capacity. Doesn't that result in the MPG for the 4-wheel option being somewhat better than the 2-wheel drive version?
