    Yep, Edmunds is slightly less insane than motortrend about the "c"

    I am intrigued by the optional panoramic sunroof in the new Yaris.

    I am hoping it will be an option in the Prius C as well.

    wow. It might be glass instead of resin like it is on the Prius v.

    Well, the spy shots make it look a lot like the Prius C is going to be the same thing as the Auris. Are they at least going to let us have the plastic parking window (that the Insight and the CR-Z have imitated)?

    The feather is quite outstanding, but I highly doubt that Prius C will be the most efficient non-plug-in hybrid on the market

    I do not know, I think they are shooting for the prius c to get better mpg than the standard prius and knowing Toyota I think they will succeed.

    The car being tested has a slightly different grill than the photo-illustration that has been making the rounds:

    Also, the car being tested appears to have the side mirrors attached to the windows, while the car in the illustration has a sharper-looking diagonal door attachment for the side mirrors.

    It's starting to look quite good in the latest renderings and prototypes, better than the Auris and 3rd. gen. Yaris IMO, so I'm looking forward to the official release. It would especially be nice if it could beat all the diesels in fuel economy using the European cycle.

    It looks nothing like a versa.
