The 5 Stages of Grief (in theory)

The Prius is about making a statement, otherwise any one of the other hybrids could have been purchased. Its as much a statement as those ridiculous trucks are.

You really need a new hate.

Ironic isn't it.

*Lots

Why don't we have an article with a flimsy premise so he can write Florida jokes?

Oh you're just a soft ass pussy. Sad to say my turbo zo6 02 corvette will likely compete with that $500,000 pos.

Nevertheless, commenters have a point. This dude does go on about his damn car waaaaaay too much, and unfortunately it does come off as ego. It's true: we really DON'T care if you have a Ferrari, so please stop telling us you own an old one.

If most Prius drivers weren't such smug assholes themselves, it would be an actual problem. But for every Prius rolled coal on, there are 100 more doing 5-15 under in the left lane, not using a signal, running stop signs/red lights, cutting people off, or pulling out in front of the last car for a mile.

Enforcement of this will be nonexistent.

Related, I need more Prius repellent to move them out of the left lane. Preferable .50 cal behind the headlamps.

no, you don't. This isn't Reddit.

Fine. Three Slingshots and six AK-47's.

I'm more interested in the tuner that pulls the hundreds of pounds of electric bullshit out of this pig.

It could still look less pedestrian with minimal effort needed on GMs behalf. Maybe its a pipe dream to think they would actually do what people have been asking for the last decade.

It could have been an exciting, fun-to-drive tiny hybrid sports coupe, but instead, we got this:

Chevy SS. Let's make performance sedan, make it look nigh-indistiguishable from our pedestrian sedans, not give it a stickshift, and use the LS3 rather than our new LT1, because, you know, we can't have it competing with the Corvette :eyeroll:

Plymouth Prowler. Arguably pretty cool, hot-rod looks. But no V8

How about the Saturn Sky/Pontiac Solstice? Should have been a contender to the Miata but just couldn't compete.
