The c's problems were 1) it wasn't that much less expensive than a Prius Liftback, and 2) it was never more efficient--a problem exacerbated when the Liftback went into its 4th generation at the same time as the c's EPA ratings were lowered by the new correction factor. The Corolla Hybrid will take the place of the c, which is for the better.
