I thought the new style batteries would just be better performing, not smaller too.

That's cool!

C looks like a potential DD winner.

I so want the Prius C. This has win written all over it. Cheaper, better looking, better mileage, and better handling over the standard Prius. Almost surprised Toyota is building it with the possibility of overshadowing the flagship hybrid Prius. Then again the C carries the same name.

A good sign is that Toyota.com says that this is a "prototype, production version may vary". To me, that suggests that very little will change as they say "may" vary and also call it a prototype and not just simply a concept car. I think mainly the usual detail stuff will change like wheels, headlight/taillight lenses, grill, ect. Hopefully the overall car remains.

Yeah, they look sweet. Oddly enough, I don't usually like wheels with curved spokes but these work.
