Might possibly be the only Prius that doesn't hold me up. Bloody things are always in my way. The owners of these always seem to be going slow to get average mpg, to compensate for hauling two hundred batteries about for a bit of town driving.  :-\
Reading the article, it implies that this model was chosen as these cars are so renowned for dawdling drivers.  :)
They should all be forced to fit V8's.  :y

There's one up the road from me. Always in lane 3, driving "economically" ::)

An LS in a Prius, the F-ing things corner like the Marie Celeste!

;D I'm sure the suspension will need a slight tweak as well ;D

Its more than the suspension that needs sorting.

You do have to wonder, of all the cars in the world, why waste an LS on a Prius!

On the bright side, with loud enough pipes, it ought to wind up a few yogurt-knitters. :D

Not sure about this tbh :-\

Sure, it's one less Prius, but simply torching it would have the same result... dropping a Northstar in instead, complete with fwd would have been as effective, and at least then it would still be driveable. The only thing that will be good for is drag racing, and with stupidly narrow tyres I can't see that working too well either ::)
