So the state of our 4 wheel world now is, we bought a 2017 Audi A4 Allroad with automatic trans. Folding the seats down, it's a little narrower inside than the Prii are, but about a foot longer. Fits two bikes laid down with wheels on rather more easily than do the Prii. Both cars have decent remaining space for luggage, etcetera. Gas mileage in reality is about 28 on 70/75 mph highways, and about 39 on lengthy 55 mph drives. It's also a LOT more comfortable! Being a 2017 it's missing some driver assistance features relative to the Lexus, but its still a great car! Bought with about 55k miles, about $32 k. Do I need the speed of the RS or S models? No. This has 252 hp. AND Quattro AWD.
