2012 Toyota Prius c
Episode 3130
By now you’ve heard much about the Toyota Prius family of hybrid cars. Well, the latest member to join the family is its smallest one yet, the Prius C. The C-for-city promises the best around town fuel economy of any non-plug-in hybrid on the road. But, is there anything more to the C, than just good mpg?
Every family is happy to see a new “little-one” arrive, and this 2012 Toyota Prius C is no exception. With great fuel economy being one reason that more people are looking at smaller cars and certainly the main reason people buy hybrids, the C looks to be the perfect marriage of the two and the right car at the right time.
But before we declare that, let’s download the data. The Prius C is based on a shortened Yaris chassis, so when we say it’s a small car, we’re not exaggerating. Wheelbase is just 100.4-inches. Overhangs, both front and rear are very brief, making it appear even shorter than it is. Overall length is just 157.3-inches.
Standard wheels are steel and 15-inches in diameter, with 16-inch alloys optional. Up front, the look is familiar Prius, but with sizable trapezoidal grille openings that help to give it a sportier tilt.
The rear-end tapers in a bit to optimize aerodynamics, which are also helped by a hatch-top rear spoiler. Tall, vertical tail lights wrap up into the fenders to help give the look some substance. Good thing since the C only weighs 2,500 pounds, or about 500 less than the standard Prius.
So, not surprisingly it is powered by a downsized Hybrid Synergy Drive system, starting with a 1.5-liter I4 rated at 73-horsepower and 82 pound feet of torque. That little engine-that-almost-can gets much needed help from a pair of electric motor-generators to give a combined output of 99-horsepower.
All of that gets you a Government Fuel Economy Rating of 53 City on Regular gas. While that’s the best of any current hybrid, its highway rating of 46 is actually less than the larger Prius, so the C’s combined rating of 50 is the same.
Energy Impact Scores also match the regular Prius at a stingy 6.6-barrels of oil per year, while emitting only 2.9 annual tons of CO2.
Despite the miniature powertrain, the C’s light weight makes it feel more spirited than its larger brethren. Still, we estimate the 0-to-60 time is similar at about 10.5 seconds.
You can tool around in ECO and EV modes only; there’s no Power mode like the larger cars, and power still flows through a foggy CVT transmission, so there’s nothing sporty to note here either.
For a car that’s designed to be a “city car”, the C holds its own on highways just as well. We never felt a lack of power, but we did have fairly low expectations going in. Visibility is good all around, and the C doesn’t feel tiny when you’re behind the wheel; it’s also quieter than the typical subcompact.
The tilt/telescoping steering wheel has redundant controls, and as in all other current Prius’, Smart Key with keyless entry and push button start is standard.
The two-tone interior is a good mix of youthful styling with comfort and user-friendliness. Seats are cloth except for top- level C4 trim that get SofTex simulated leather. The folding rear seat is either 1 or 2 piece, depending on which grade you purchase and trunk capacity is generous at 17.1 cubic-feet.
In current Prius vein, the dash-top gauge cluster includes a color info screen with a multitude of different fuel economy screens, and on the passenger side of the dash is a media tray with USB and auxiliary inputs.
With four trim levels, pricing begins at $19,710 for a Prius C One. That’s some 3 grand less than the standard Prius. The top level C Four is stickered at $23,990.
There’s no argument that the best selling point of the 2012 Prius C is its great fuel economy. But beyond that, the C is also a pretty decent subcompact overall. Add in a well equipped price that doesn’t break the bank, and it looks like the C is indeed more than just good MPG.

Mazda's new Mexican plant capacity rises to 230,000
Sat, 05 Jan 2013After the turmoil of last year, 2013 is getting off to a much better start for Mazda. The company has issued a release indicating that the forthcoming plant in Salamanca, Mexico has had its production capacity raised even though it isn't scheduled to go online until March 2014. The original plans called for a 140,000-unit capacity, 90,000 of that allotted for the Mazda2 and Mazda3, the remaining 50,000 for a small car Mazda would build for Toyota that would be based on the Mazda2. The new plans call for raising that by 90,000 units to a total of 230,000 units within two years, by the end of March 2016, and it looks like it will all go toward Mazda production to satisfy growing demand for Skyactiv vehciles. The Mexican plant's opening will be the return of Mazda manufacturing to North America, after Mazda6 production was moved back to Japan last year.
More good news for the company is that it projects 10 billion yen ($114 million) in net income for the financial year that will end in March. That would be a welcome turnaround from the 100-billion-yen loss in the previous financial year, part of a series of three annual losses in a four-year span.
You'll find the press release with the factory update below.
Audi investing $30.3 billion through 2018 for product expansion
Sun, 29 Dec 2013How does Audi plan to reach two million units in annual sales and pay for the 11 new models it's adding to its lineup - an expansion that may include models named SQ2, Q9 and F-Tron? By increasing its investment to 22 billion euros ($30.3 billion US) between now and 2018. That figure represents an increase of about 500 million euros over the previously planned outlay, according to a report by Automotive News, and that could be due to Audi wishing to goad the momentum that pushed it to 1.5 million annual sales two years ahead of schedule.
It's also about staving off the challenges from BMW and Mercedes-Benz. Now that BMW has been able to turn some of its attention away from its "i" series of Megacity cars, it will reportedly spend more than planned in 2014 as it continues the rollout of ten all-new vehicles and 15 new-generation vehicles through the end of next year. Mercedes, having been dropped to third in the sales race, is preparing to add 13 new cars over the next six years.
Audi's money is going into technology, into product like the next-generation TT and the Q1 and production expansions and upgrades all over the world. The expenditure represents just under a fourth of Volkswagen's 84.2 billion-euro ($115.7 US) outlay devoted to taking the number-one global automaker title away from General Motors and Toyota by 2018.
Hurricane Sandy cost automakers 15,000 vehicles, may have ruined up to 200k
Wed, 07 Nov 2012Hurricane Sandy was the largest Atlantic storm in US history, and its total economic impact is just now coming into view. According to Automotive News, Toyota, Chrysler, Nissan and Honda are set to scrap around 15,000 new vehicles ruined by the storm. Nissan alone accounts for about 40 percent of those, with 6,000 Nissan and Infiniti models deeded "un-saleable" due to damage. The company saw 56 dealerships shuttered due to the storm, but 51 of those have since reopened.
Toyota, meanwhile, had some 4,000 vehicles at its Newark port facility, and of those, 3,000 may be scrapped. An additional 825 were dealer inventory when they were ruined. Honda and Acura dealers are reportedly sending 3,440 vehicles to the salvage yard. By comparison, Chrysler weathered the storm fairly well with 825 units destroyed, while Hyundai suffered only 400 lost units and Kia scrapped around 200.
As you may recall, Fisker also suffered some losses, and Automotive News reports the manufacturer saw 320 Karma models damaged beyond repair. Ford and General Motors have yet to come up with estimates, and no automaker has commented on the full cost of replacing the vehicles.
