The prius C is still
The prius C is still continued in Europe.
It actually now comes with a 1.5l 3cyl, and a larger battery, with something like 16hp more, and higher range.
They can make it cheaper, and already did.
And thus nullifies the idea that the prius C doesn't have a place in usa.
The real reason according to me?
The new prius C will eat profits from the regular prius. Because reportedly it comes in at 84 MPG (imp = 66 MPG US), something the prius can't beat.
