    How's this supposed to be different from the Prius c?

    Nice front end styling though.

    I'd have to doubt highly it will come to America. At least anytime soon. Too much a direct competitor to The Prius C.

    I like the full Panaramic Roof, and the high end leather wrapped steering wheel.

    Also it appears the seats fold down flater, without the bump that exists in The Prius C. But that might just be angle and the shot.

    I think it's smaller than a c, also 5door hatchback?

    I thought the Prius c was also a 5-door hatchback? Isn't the c basically the hybrid version of Yaris?

    Same platform, but slightly bigger car. Japan and the USA get the same car. Europe gets the Yaris hybrid because they already make the Yaris in Valenciennes.

    To get an American-assembled Toyota hybrid there needs to be a plant building cars in the USA. So, the USA has Camry Hybrids and will have Highlander Hybrids. The next obvious one would be in the next generation c-segment in Miss where they're currently assembling Corolla.
