    Hello Prius world, I recently purchased a new 2016 Prius C3. It is very different compared to my former Focus ST, but it will serve its purpose nicely. Decided I would become more pragmatic and get the fun car later on. The ride is more comfortable, the utility of the vehicle is nice, and I cannot complain about the gas savings. I chose head over heart on this purchase and so far, I do not regret it.

    Congrats, I bought the same year and model and am very happy with it. Gas mileage, easy to park and comfortable, with a little humor built in, it gets lost quickly in a parking lot, just about any car will hide it from view.

    I have to disagree with Gasaholic about parking lots. I have a Tangerine Prius, and it's easier than heck to find him!

    Perhaps the "c" stands for cool? I know Japan has an interesting Gen 4 color that we cannot get. It has solar reflective paint.
