Shorter. Sportier. Efficient-er (or something like that). It's the 2012 Prius c, shown above for the first time in non-concept form. What first strikes you is that it is noticeably smaller than the 3rd Generation Prius, with a smaller driver compartment and obviously smaller rear passenger compartment. The rear hatch with the single, non-split window is carried through on the Prius c like it is on the Prius v - something I really liked about the Prius v.
One thing is for sure - this car definitely has Prius roots. The front end is unmistakable.
Here is a photo of the Prius c concept to compare the spy shots with:
