Toyota Prius Is an Enthusiast Vehicle (roadandtrack.com) Thoughts? Road and Track talk about the Prius in the same article where they compare it's design to Lamborghini.... Ferrari... and Porsche.... hahaha
The funny thing about that snippet is... it's written about the Gen 4 or earlier clearly, and if I drive my Gen 4 aggressively with similar expectations to my old Mk4 Golf TDI - put the right foot down, get a little bit of power, wait a moment for the turbo (in the Golf)/engine (in the Prius) to spool up, and then you get the power you expect - I get similar results.
Same here ... unless it's one of those rare, once a year or every other year cannon ball run ¾ of the way, across the USA. .
