    Oh, not this idiot again. I had to turn it off after two seconds. Can someone transcribe it so I can tear it apart (again) line by line without having to see his smug face?

    what a freak.

    baby george bush? 'uh... duh.. trying to say...'

    do they want people to say they bought the prius for 'poor' mileage? or that the powerful battery doesnt save gas when it is at idle or in parking lots? or coasting? i guess it doesnt. 'sarcastic'.

    anyways... hope everyone is great.

    Yeah he is an idiot who obviously has not done his homework. I usually ignore that stuff (Ignorance is Bliss so why pop their bubble - they will just hate you for it), but I had to post a couple comments.

    At least he didn't use the F-word every other phrase in this video. His basic rant is that reducing weight is a better way to reduce mileage than using a hybrid power train. He uses the Yaris as an example of a lighter car. Only trouble is,the Yaris does not come close to the Prius mileage on neither the city nor the hiway cycle according to CR. Nor do any of the other minicars, such as the Honda Fit.
    The funny thing is, the Prius does essentialy what he suggests-using a very small ICE to power a car. The trouble is, not many folks would consider the Prius if the ICE was the only power plant--underpowered would be an understatement. Having the motors for power bursts makes the difference.
    The basic point that he totally misses, is that the Prius is still the mileage champ of any current production car.

    Per your request:

    I believe in America. America has made my fortune. And I raised my daughter in the American fashion. I gave her freedom, but I taught her never to dishonor her family.

    She found a boyfriend, not an Italian. She went to the movies with him, she stayed out late. I didn't protest. Two months ago, he took her for a drive, with another boyfriend. They made her drink whiskey. And then they tried to take advantage of her. She resisted. She kept her honor. So they beat her, like an animal.

    When I went to the hospital, her nose was broken. Her jaw was shattered, held together by wire. She couldn't even weep because of the pain. But I wept. Why did I weep? She was the light of my life, beautiful girl. Now she will never be beautiful again.

    I went to the police, like a good American. These two boys were brought to trial. The judge sentenced them to three years in prison, suspended sentence. Suspended sentence! They went free that very day! I stood in the courtroom like a fool. And those two bastard, they smiled at me. Then I said to my wife, "for justice, we must go to Don Corleone."

    Question 3: What weighs more ________?

    A. Larger 4 cylinder Otto Cycle engine with automatic transmission having oil filled torque convertor, two planetary gear sets, two clutch packs0drumbs, a clutch band and a large hydraulic valve body.

    B. Smaller 4 cylinder Atkinson Cycle engine with compact power transfer device haming a single planetary gear set and two electric motor generators instead of the heavy clutch packs and torque converter.

    Question 6: Word Problem = Cars A and B both start off on a trip with a full tank of gas. After driving 450 miles, they both stoped for feul. Car A added 10 gallons of gas to fill its tank back to its original level. Car B added 16 gallons to fill his tank to its original level. Which car used less gas for the 450 mile trip?

    A. Car A because it took less gas to fill it back to the original level.

    There isn't anyone on the planet who thinks they know more than a 20 year old does.

    I wonder if he actually passed his physics class.

    I predict a future in sales, probably door to door.
