Now there is a new car that for a reasonable cost performs very close to what a race car could.

Although the 20s brought new ideas, these ideas might not always have been in the interest of providing a free nation for all and indeed may have caused increase hatred in society. The first world war did not directly damage American society and in fact was beneficial as demand for American goods increased. As a result of this there was a huge amount of technological and industrial progress. An example of this is the motor car industry which provided huge amounts of freedom. The Ford production line meant that prices could be kept low and this, coupled with a generous credit system, led to huge numbers of cars being sold; in 1929 there was one car for every five Americans.
For many people when looking for a midsize vehicle many people want good gas milage; for good reason with in the last 10 years gas prices have raised from $1.50 to $3.50 and sometimes higher than $4. When you compare the two cars the Crosstrek has a slight advantage in higher MPG on highway and city by 2 miles extra per gallon. For a family that travels 25,000 miles (7,000 above the national average) a year would save a family about only $200; many of which would consider this a wash on the scheme of things.

A few years ago, gas mileage was not a big part of the decision making on buying a car. Today it is a major part.

People want to be able to drive the same amount that they normally do, but they do not want to have to pay more to do it.
Therefore the Prius had been consolidating its status as the dominant green car in the world, even the other green car with the different brand nameplates as BMW could not exceed it.
