Thanks. If YOU think it is a bit of a nightmare, then most of the rest of us would likely think it would be a full fledged nightmare (so i'll forgo the idea)....and I can imagine that a car coming from Europe would present more of a challenge than a car coming from Canada. I thought the Prius C and the Yaris Hybrid were exactly the same until August 5th 2012 when I found the article on elp.com that I refer to in post #38 on this thread. I just reread that article and it doesn't actually state that the Yaris Hybrid is smaller . Just for the heck of it, I decided to see if the Yaris Hybrid would have an e-brochure on one of the sites for one of the countries in the EU. I first searched the German site (and over all of the choices they have compared to what we get). I then searched the site for Malta and it automatically redirected to the UK site, as I thought it might. I found an e-brochure that included the Yaris Hybrid on this site. The length is 3905 millimeters (152.49 inches) and the wheelbase is 2510 millimeters (97.89 inches). I imagine that the 4.81 inch difference in length (157.3 inch Prius C minus 152.49 inch Yaris Hybrid) is largely because of different bumper requirements......But why is there a 2.51 inch difference in wheelbase (100.4 inches for the Prius C minus 97.89 inches for the Yaris Hybrid) between the two?
