Touring better in the wind, traction?

My Prius was terrible in crosswinds until I got it aligned properly. Now it feels just fine.
For people that feel it moves around excessively on the freeway I would suggest an alignment. Mine was way off. I had a lot of toe out. It is a joy to drive now without any additional modifications except for 40/38 in the tires.

Fojae -

I just bought a Touring Prius and dumped my Acura MDX. The wind would blow the MDX all over the road, and it does almost the same with my Prius, but not quite as bad! Oh well...
