I always liked the little
I always liked the little Prius C. To me it was better looking than the bigger Prius models of that generation. Unfortunately, I think that it suffered from the same problem that the Smart car faced. It’s biggest advantage was it’s small size, but it wasn’t that much cheaper, and it didn’t get that much better gas mileage than comparably priced cars that offered more room. And once you figure in the subsidies of plug in hybrids and BEVs, you could get a much nicer car that didn’t use any gas. In Europe, with it’s narrow roads, and in big cities, it is a real advantage to have a tiny car, but outside of that it’s a harder sell. And frankly with so many giant Ram trucks, Escalades, and F150s, you could literally get crushed in a tiny car like the Prius C.
