    I hope real soon someone either in the U.S. or Japan where the Aqua is now for sale can take one for a test drive and report on MPG dispaly, handling, and performance.

    Should be pretty easy to do. Here in the Northwest at the local
    Toyota Dealer there is NO Prius C for me to test drive otherwise
    I would.

    There are tons already... if you can read Japanese :(
    People are usually getting 24 km/l - 29 km/l, which is 52.5 mpg - 63.5 mpg.
    That's in Japan where there are more traffic and frequent stops compared to U.S.
    Regular Prius gets 40 mpg in traffic, 58.5 mpg in city, 53.8 mpg in highway, and averages to 51.2 mpg, in Japan.
    So, it looks like Prius c gets about 10-15% better mpg in Japan's roads.

    I take it the mpg is in U.S. gallons and not imperial gallons.
