Why is everyone slating how slow/boring the prius, when it is just as quick as most other cars in its segment?

[Rezxer]

@grungerman It's a subjective thing anyway, but from what I seen, the kind of people who calls a Prius boring tends to be the type who drives manual cars that does 0-60 in 4-6 second.

Of course, people can buy what they want, but it does gets tiring to hear people criticize the Prius for not being able to perform like a Mustang. Maybe no one told them that the Prius was designed primarily with fuel efficiency in mind.

@logume1881 Had to buffer man...

@peter21d LOL. You have to remember. People who buy these drive hundreds if not thousands of miles per week. Saving $1000-$2000 a month in gas is smart. Considering most of the rice rocket boys who drive the stick shift turbo shit box only make $12-$24k a year.

@Rezxer there just ugly thats all being slow just makes it worse

@Rezxer, I think if a car has the power to merge on freeways and get out of harm's way around big-rigs in the mountains, etc., it's good enough. Many old pickup trucks go a lot slower than this and people don't give the drivers grief. The vehicle does the work, anyhow, not the so-called enthusiast driver who's often some kind of shallow putz.
