Ha ha. It is true, though.
An older 911 is entertaining to drive because it demands concentration and focus to get the most performance out of it.
The Prius is similar, but the "performance" in this case is MPG. You learn how to get the most mileage out of the hybrid system. Squeezing another 1/10 MPG becomes like squeezing 1/10 sec lap time.
The main difference, for me, is that in my daily driving here in Portland - commuting on pretty boring city streets, from stoplight to stoplight - I can try to squeeze the most out of the Prius, whereas squeezing the most out of the 911 would be a ticket to jail.
One reason for buying the old Vespa is because I think it'll be more entertaining than either.
Edit: And because most days the wife drives the Prius.
