Title: Unintentionally Funny Prius ad introduces the concept of the Prius C
Post by: Weisshaupt on March 20, 2012, 10:09:46 AM: Apparently, when your main customers are a bunch of adults that want the government to create a Country-wide kindergarten, where everyone can visit the school nurse, everyone gets a cookie, no one gets to say "mean things" ( about them) , and your life decisions have no more consequence than when you are playing a board game, you are best off marketing to them as children.

But no, that wasn't enough. They doubled down.

UPDATE: Okay, its probably intentionally funny. However, its probably pretty unfunny to potential Prius buyers.
Maybe the C denotes the children's version?
