I completely disagree with you Matt. I think the Prius is a FAR more refined car. No luxury or sports car can even come close to touching its efficiency. Why should I care about power and performance for daily driving? Do I need to accelerate to 60 in under 8 seconds? No, I don't. Its a complete waste. Just because a car can accelerate fast with heated leather seats does not make it a more refined car.

Now, if I was looking for a track car that would be different. The Prius would be very far down on the list. But people don't need a track car for daily driving. Still, some people seem to think otherwise.
