    Why would Prius Haters even care about this story?
    Sounds like it was entirely the Ferrari and super cars fault.

    Infact, I'd think Prius Haters would just be embarrased about this story. If you are driving a Ferrari and you can't pass a Prius without hitting a guard rail? It ain't really the Prius's fault.

    Anyway, the fact that this accident developed because someone tried to pass a Prius? Inmaterial, could of been any vehicle. Ferrari and Supercar drivers think they are the fastest thing on the road, and they SHOULD pass anything going slower than them, be it Prius or whatever.

    Sounds like the Super cars were driving in a pack. Not really a good idea. And according to the article they were going 80-100 mph. So how anyone parlays this article into Anti-Prius sentiment is beyond me.
