Did you see that Top Gear where they drove a Pious round their test

The Pious used considerably more fuel...


It was a pointless test though, all it showed was using a vehicle in a
way that it's not designed to be used results in less than optimum
performance.


So it's not designed to be driven fast or even enthusiastically? Figures.


What's your point, other than stating the obvious?

I mean, deriding the Prius for not being good at something it was never
designed for comes across as petty point scoring.

A bit like mocking a supercar for being poor in London traffic. An
observation so obvious as to be pointless.
