105mph oh my goodness, the horror! That is a disappointing top speed for a 1.5l car, especially when you consider that it was designed with aerodynamic efficiency in mind and has a second motor.

Sounds like Hot Wheels can beat a Prius.

I have the third fastest Prius ever recorded…I took my mom’s Prius 94 MPH!!! Getting 33MPG at that speed and it seemed able to handle it pretty good.

Jimjack; excellent, “looks like Toyota put the wrong rig in NASCAR” Comic genius; pure, simple, and to the point.

What a xxxxing hypocrite!!!! Drives a xxxxing Prius to “support the environment” and at the same time owns a hummer. You can get more MPG from an aveo than you can with a Prius with that speed.

THIS is only more proof that a lot of people buy Priuses just to obtain a ‘green’ image.

Because of this guy, im considering that buying Apple anymore but then again everything else is Japanese which isn’t very American either. Its like choosing between Chrysler and Suzuki

105 mph is not even 170 km/h. Piece of xxxx can minivans from Toyota that’s built and sold in third world countries can go up to 160 km/h. I’d expect a smaller Prius to have a top speed in a downward slope of at least 105 mph. The only reason why this is such a big deal is because of the speed limit in US, in countries where there are toll roads without speed limits it’s nothing to brag about.

Try topping my constant 146 mph for 5 minutes on a public toll road in the new Audi TT 2.0T. If I didn’t have the salesman next to me, it would’ve been faster.

He’s got it backward anyway.. if his car was clocking km/h, he would have been doing about 170km/h if he is indeed going 104mph.

I guess if your the rainman that kilometers to miles per hour thing might be beliveable. But come to think of it that guy is the poster child for nurds R us so maybe its more believable than we think…

Al Gore III still holds the land speed record for a civilian-issued Prius; he was pulled over doing 105 mph.
…

I think Wozniak uses the same metric mixup in logic when he tells women he has a 9 inch penis, but he really means 9 centimeters.

Not that the ladies care because they want his money, not his body.

What a lame excuse.. “use kilometers per hour rather than miles per hour.” I guess its hard to tell the difference between 104 mph and 65 mph.
