2012 Detroit Auto Show Video: 2012 Toyota Prius C

By Mark Takahashi | January 11, 2012

Toyota rolled out the 2012 Prius C in Detroit; a smaller, subcompact version of the wildly popular hybrid poster child. Besides the downsized dimensions, the engine and electric motor have also been shrunken. Naturally, power will be far from impressive, but with an estimated 53 mpg city / 46 mpg highway and 50 mpg combined rating, it's tops among non-plug-in hybrids. Look for the Prius C in showrooms this March.

Check out the video after the jump for more information.

This one bears watching especially if they actually sell it for 19K. With all the new product coming out this Spring, it will be a good time to turnover the LT fleet. What would I like to see? Since you asked, in no particular order; Dart, Fusion plug-in,
FR-S, Prius C, ATS, ILX, Veloster Turbo. You're welcome.

This SHOULD outsell the Prius at some point in the future
Same economy, $5k less.

The only thing that will hold down sales is supply
When summer comes, and gas is back to $4+, they can sell as many of these as they can produce
