AFAIK, there is just one World. But since it's round, it naturally
limits your perspective.

I never said it was large. Only that calling it small would be correct
only in a very limited perspective, such as yours.

Uh-huh....
That's why you have to limit your comparisons to what the Italians drive,
right?

Australia's, America's, Japans, New Zealands, South America's, the UK. Yeah,
you're right. It's pretty limited.

So, what do you do with the extra three inches of boot space in the Prius?

It's not just the boot space. It's also the width. It's ALSO a back
seat with HUGE leg room compared to just about anything in that class,
leg room that takes it a major step above the cramped interior of the
Corolla.
But facts get in your way, so...

What "class" would that be? Small car class?

Exactly what facts are you talking about?
There's variations is sizes amongst cars in the *same* class in just about
every class you look at, and while you might see a significant difference at
the top and bottom ends of that class it doesn't mean the largest car is in
a totally different class. Is the Prius bigger than a Corolla? Sure it is,
but it sure as shit ain't *that* much bigger that it jumps up a whole class
size.
I've spent time in both a Prius and a Camry, and if you think those two
vehicles are both in the same class with regard to size then you're kidding
yourself.
