    The Prius C has many cues from other cars, past and present. This could be said of many cars actually.

    The Front: Lexus CT200H (Looks like an angry, stuffed cheek chipmunk)
    The Side: AMC Gremlin (Don't know why...)
    The Rear: Volvo XC60 (Except with a mini skirt with those flared rear bumpers)

    Any other resemblances you see?

    Hey, don't knock'em! I love little AMC's so much I bought a Pacer along with my Gremlin!

    That D-pillar looks very Gremlin-esque! Otherwise, it kind of looks like a Camry Wagon.

    I actually liked the look of the Pacer - mostly from the rear or quartering away. I thought it looked like it had a WWII bomber gun turret on it.

    And the only person I knew who had one (or admitted to owning one) was a woman who said she really liked it.:D

    The back of the C sort of resembles the back of the new Hyundai Accent hatchback.

    I see similarities to a Fiesta when seen on the road.

    +1 - early on I mistook a couple Fiestas for the C.

    Constantly seeing Honda Fits on the road and getting excited that they might be a sister C. I've mostly figured out the uniqueness now.
