Back of car seems really low to the ground! Agree?

Mine is about 12 1/2 inches from bottom edge to ground

 

I think the back is angled downward so it makes it seem shorter

 

I don't understand, from all the pics I've seen, the back bumper is angled upwards on the C, isn't it?

 

The back bumper is higher than the front or the middle of the car. Why are you worried about the back?



I am average in height, so I had this photo taken by a height-challenged assistant.

 

The roofline slopes down, as it does on all the Prii, the raindrop areodynamics that help the cars get that great gas mileage! But the bumper is higher.

 

Just a note. The teardrop design ending in a pointed tail proved too impractical, so the next best thing is the kammback, named after Herr Kamm.

Of course I meant the general shape, imagine the complaints about trunk space if it was a literal teardrop shape, lol!

 

I didn't say the back bumper was angled down- I said the back meaning as I am standing behind it, the back part of the car seems angled down which makes it seem shorter. ( or makes me feel tall!)

 

As I recall from looking at one at a dealership yesterday, isn't the bottom of the charge area pretty much level with the top of the back bumper? With little raised 'lip' between the cargo area and top of back bumper, it may give the illusion of being lower to the ground.
That form is actually one of the touches I like most about the C. Makes loading and unloading much easier
