I don't know about you guys but I love Prius'. I think I am going to purchase. That thing uses NO FUEL! I had one as a loaner and I was TRYING HARD to not burn gas...got it up to 80MPG!

Whats weird about them, that most people don't know, is that they have I belive it is 350 FT/LBS of torque...FROM IDLE! Its because electric motors make torque in a complete flat line. I floored it a couple times before zeroing the gas mileage computer and you can feel all that Torque. Strangely enough, its got the power of a normal car. Nothing amazing but more than enough. I can see why you wouldn't like it though, I would suggest just driving it.
