Cross-country journeys of more than 300miles mostly.

A Prius will do that no problem and return superb mpg.

But in *far* less comfort.

95% of people in the UK fall in line with the Prius.

Yet 99.9% don't buy one...

Because most have never heard of it....yet.

Even those who've heard of it very, very rarely buy one.

My current car can transport me and my passengers across continents
without strain at average speeds greater than the Pius's maximum
in complete comfort...

So can the Prius and use les fuel and pollute less. Prius max speed
100mph. You are thick.

On a recent journey through Germany I averaged ~140mph.

Averaging over 100mph is not difficult.

My current car can overtake very quickly, and therefore safely, on
SC trunk roads...

So can a Prius.

A Prius does 50-70mph in 7.9s, my car takes 2.5s; much safer.

My current car can corner at 1G, reducing wasteful braking...

Prius braking is regen and charges athe battery.

Just as well since it has to slow so much for corners.
