Heard on the local news radio station here today that the newsman tried his own experiment in his prius. Got up to 60 mph. Floored the accelerator. Took 14 seconds to bring the car to a controlled stop in the breakdown lane (he timed it by being on the cell phone with the radio station at the time and reading out the speeds). He also said that the guy in California is HEAVILY in debt and may have done it just to get the money.
Ever notice that Toyota gets crucified in the press just at the same time the Fed Govt bought huge interests in 2 US auto companies?
Just a thought.
