There was nothing new in that test.... We all know the corvette is capable of doing that and I knew for a fact that the prius is a bitch to get over 45 mpg unless your going downhill at 65 for a loooong time. The non believers will still be non believers and say the video was fudged.

A beautiful car with that kind of gas mileage and great resale value with huge aftermarket support.....why even bother getting a prius? c5 vette all the way

A gadget car? by that they mean a screen to look at to take your attention away from the road who gives a **** about gadgets

I see this chick driving a prius every day on the way to work. License plate says 9volts. Soon I will get the plates: 9MPGHWY just despite her.
