Don't like the price, don't buy it. It's called supply and demand.

I would go elsewhere, but I can't blame them. They may also have a lot of regular Prius hatchback models on the lot that they want to get rid of. For the same 28k you can get a bigger Prius with similar mpg.

That's just one form of what, in the auto-sales buisness, is called Bait-and-Switch.
