The road to Hell is paved with smashed-up Prius's and the good intentions of treehuggers. Really very sad.

Huh. I drive a 2003 Toyota myself. Funny.

I have a Prius, and I drive around with the accelerator mashed to the floor anyway. Even when I'm driving up my driveway.

^ Don't you HAVE to to even get up to speed in that thing?

I'm AMAZED that car can get anywhere near 100mph. O.O

I wish they'd used an actual Prius in their "what to do" segment. You can't shift them into neutral while they're at speed. The car just beeps at you if you try it. Ditto for park and reverse.

The e-brake in a Prius is very much set up as a parking brake. You push the pedal in, and it locks in place. I wouldn't recommend that you try to use it to slow down at highway speeds (or hardly any speed at all).

I haven't tried it, but I don't think you can even shut off the ignition at speed, either.

I'm not sure why people act like the Prius is an especially slow car. It's the same as a normal 4-cylinder mid-size sedan. Not a rocket, but easily capable of hitting 100mph, getting up to speed on highway ramps, overtaking dickheads who're only going 75 in the left-hand lane...I can vouch for all those personally.

Yes, I own a Prius. I'm sure everyone's shocked.

Demon and NR I hope you didn't take offense. Would it make sense to find a nice big parking lot and figure out if there's a workable procedure for stopping this thing?
