This is what I've been waiting for basically. A smaller version of the Prius that gets even better mileage, the 4 doors is a great plus. I've liked the FT-CH since it came out too and have been hoping to see it evolve into a production vehicle.
However, I can't see it beating the pants off of the gen 3 Prius without some definite advancements in aero and weight. It does look like they're trying to keep the interior light, but these are concept pictures. I can't imagine them bringing that interior to production. Anyway, the Prius C does not look like it has a better cd than the current Prius. It may have a smaller frontal area... It will definitely weigh less, but how much we'll have to wait and see.
