Secondly, as MtnDrvr pointed out, that doesn't take advantage of regenerative braking.
Finally, what we're talking about RIGHT NOW is a hybrid designed for performance. You're bashing on it.
No need to hate just cause you like to look cool wearing your leather and smoking cigarettes behind the gym. The rest of us have moved on.

how did you know i wear leather and smoke? are you stalking me??
trust me i can see potential in any technology, I work in a field where the technology is constantly changing. In a 10 year time span, the equipment I use has gone through 4 different generations, going from 15 minutes for a scan to 15 seconds for a scan.
I still stand my ground on hybrids. As of right now, I am unimpressed with any production hybrid, if anything I see more potential in full electric vehicles.
The post that I made was used to support how I don't like the fact that the idea of hybrids was originally created as a way to better the environment instead of a way to make cars perform better with having efficiency as just a plus. So you saying the Prius wasn't designed to go to it's top speed (which isn't very fast at all) just supports what I was trying to express. It's sad when people can out run a prius police car (which we have here in NYC).
