  Why do they think that you need a wiper on the rear window of such a small car? I mean come on this thing is 4.5-5.5 inches long probably and it clears such a small section of the rear window that I can't see how Toyota can justify costs to engineer/test/install/service such a near useless wiper..........Sorry about the wall of text.

  It might be tied with the Scion xD.

  Almost as cute as the front right which seems to serve no purpose.

  They might as well eliminate it and upgrade the interior a bit.

  This is definitely the cutest I've seen. Maybe the Mini Clubman has a smaller blade but it has two of them. As rear glass has been shrinking on cars I've actually seen some decent sized SUVs with ridiculously small rear wipers. They are limited by the height of the window so you see this low, wide rear window with a tiny arc in the middle.

  Some wiped area on the back is better than none. Legacygt hits the nail on the head. the aspect ratio of most rear screens dictates tiny wipers.

  No I own a prius C and the back window wiper is absolutely necessary. They could make it bigger, but it works wonderfully at the size that it is.

  The C is just a very cute car.
