Unless this is your first trip through the Handy Toyota blog, you are well aware of the upcoming four-car family of Prius hybrid vehicles:  the fourth generation Prius IV is already sitting on our St. Albans, VT new & used Toyota dealership lot, the recently released Prius v is also wowing drivers currently with its 58% more cargo room when compared to the original Prius hybrid, and the highly lauded 2012 Toyota Prius Plug-in is but months away from its full launch date.  But what about the little guy of the herd, e.g. the 2012 Toyota Prius c?
