If true, that makes your logic even *less* plausible :)

I absolutely have driven a Corolla. For a week, while the Prius was
getting repaired (someone sideswiped me). The front seat was tighter,
and the rear seat was WAY tighter.

And this was a current model? Are you *sure* it was a Corolla and not a
Yaris?

Yes on both counts.
It seems to me that you get different cars than what we get.

We get mostly the same cars, but just pay a lot more for them than you do.
We even pay more for *our* cars here than you do for them there.
As far as I'm aware the Corolla's and Prius sold here are the same as yours,
with minor differences to suit our particular vehicle regulations. Having
said that, and having driven both cars a number of times, I can't see any
difference in interior size between them *apart* from the luggage capacity
and a little bit extra rear seat legroom. The physical layout of the cars is
certainly different in terms of style and materials, but space wise there's
nothing in it for mine.
Perhaps the different look of the two makes one appear bigger than the
other.
