    Does anyone hate Priuses as much as I do? I don't hate all hybrids....Mainly just the Prius. But still.....They have dangerously slow acceleration. They ride in the left lane where they don't belong. I hate how all of them look. I hate basically everything about them. Anyone one else?

    They don't bother me. Would I buy one, no. It's not my style, doesn't fit my needs, etc. Now you say dangerously slow... I've never looked up the "performance" on them lol. How slow is slow? I feel like it could take a Peterbilt in the 1320.

    Sounds like you mean to say "I hate prius drivers".

    I hate people who roll 80mph on i85 with their pizza cutter donut spare. Not the car's fault. Dumb drivers.

    When you drop your foot down on a Prius, it actually will go just fine. The battery-assist actually adds a decent amount of torque. The problem is, people with them are so dead-set on conserving gas and getting with highest MPG reading on the display, that they don't take other traffic on the road into consideration....in fear they will see their little screen drop by .2 MPG.

    Priuses don't go in the left lane by themselves.

    And I wish I were you, man. If all you have to worry about through life is how much you hate an inanimate object that has nothing to do with you, then you've got it better than me.

    That was a good episode. I thought about making a reference but it was too much effort. You are a better man than I.

    Just because Prius drivers blow each other occasionally doesn't mean their gay.

    Oh I do. For some reason, they and their drivers just bother me. So I thought I would see if anyone else shared my distaste for them.

    It just seems mundane and petty to "hate" something like that that much.

    Some of them. For me, Honda owners are hit or miss. Same with the cars.

    I hate prius drivers only because the green push has resulted in us having shitty gasoline that is killing our cars.

    My point exactly. Fun and economical can exist in the same sentence. The Prius is out to prove that it can't. Lol

    I don't mind the Prius itself, just the self-righteous Prius drivers. They aren't helping the environment at all.


    Gas/Electric hybrid cars cause far more damage to the environment than almost anything else on the road.

    mph delta
    LMAO who talks like that

    What's even worse than prius drivers are the ones who bought the prius when it first came out, or brand new. It's ridiculous to spend that much more on an otherwise ugly and crappy corolla for waaay less than the difference in fuel savings.

    Dangerously slow acceleration? It has more power than my Sentra. I actually want one. They're purpose built and I personally like that. Goodjob for Toyota.
