I couldn't stop laughing / agreeing. :thumbup:

...does Toyota know about this USEFULNESS "defect" yet?

I can't believe the BS that is happening to Toyota. Do a quick YouTube search on the Prius braking. Lucious Georgia or someone similar.

WOT, Mashed the brakes, car stops.
WOT, hold power button for 3 seconds, car turns off-stops.
WOT, Shift to neutral, car coasts / brakes to a safe stop.

I just have a real hard time believing any of it is more than people jumping in to make money of what might have potentially been a real issue for a very select few cars.
