    Don't know if any of you are a fan of the British Top Gear series, but this snippet is worth watching. Intellectual chaps, and funny to boot. Enjoy!

    Cheers!

    Right... so we're going to compare a car DESIGNED to go fast with a car thats DESIGNED to save gas.

    Apples and oranges people.

    I'd like to see them pit a F1 Racecar against that BMW. I doubt the BMW will be able to keep up.

    Uh- huh. First post. Showing the same old video... but NOT paying any attention to the last sentence in the video... "it's not what you drive, it's how you drive it". Obviously, the Prius was not being driven as intended. Drive both vehicles at a reasonable, average, daily routine speed, and the Prius will win every time with the mpg.

    And as for those guys being intellectual chaps...well, if that's your idea of intellectual, you need to just be quiet and go back to eating your crayons.

    Not only a troll, but a stupid troll.

    I am not sure what the video proves except that the host is a snobby British a** and that he doesn't have the foggiest idea about what he's talking about. The Nickel thing has been disproved about a million times and I want to see the BMW M3 go head to head in rush hour traffic and see which car gets better gas mileage.

    I think the video is strictly for entertainment only.
