You missed the punch line. You're forgiven.

As someone who has driven a Prius C recently, you are wrong. It feels about twice as slow.
Personally, I would never own this car (Prius) and a BRZ/FR-S. My other car has lots more storage and people moving capabilities and can actually tow something if I ever need to. |

In general I don't mind the idea of driving a hybrid, and I thought my CR-Z was great. I just absolutely hate the dash layout on the Prius C.

No, I prefer the Honda hybrids like the Insight and the CRZ. Honda heavily underrates them for MPG and they come with a sport mode that is somewhat sporty. The "mild hybrid" IMA system doesn't post as high of numbers in the city but they get excellent MPG on the highway.

The FR-S is my Prius. I average over 30MPG nearly every tank. Of course, my "other" car is a 2004 Suburban Z71, the ultimate anti-Prius, so I'm not sure I'm a good judge.
Like @DarkSunrise said, my DD has to excite me. I spend an average of 2.5 hours a day in my car, it will not be boring. I had this discussion with folks at work the other day all talking about they have these boring "commuter cars" and then a more exciting weekend car. Where's the fun in that? On second thought, I might own a Prius but only if I pulled out the politically correct drivetrain and stuffed a small block V8 in it. Then, I'd rebadge it to something like "Prius SST" and have a little stop light fun.

I would rock a Noble as my DD if I had one. Cars are meant to be driven and drive I will do. If I need to haul my CBR600 or my 450R, I will rent a truck for $50. |

I had an extra 150lb of weight luggage and on soft tires while travelling around Lake Tahoe , a Prius-c was up behind me and giving me HELL there
I lost him every corner, the BRZ has way more advantage in the cornering and downhill, --he kept coming back on the uphill because he had a lighter weight advantage. |

i'd make it look like the yellow one (minus the LED lights obviously) and it'd make me feel better.
