Wow. I think you should post this very same content in the HCH-II forum.
If I am right, you would have a flood of actual owners telling you "It ain't like you said"... In fact, it would be quite the opposite particularly from those of us who actually own both cars.

I have driven both. I had my experience. It was bad. If someone says the Prius doesn't drive like a normal automatic transmission I would really wonder what they are smoking.
I would say my assesment is pretty fair since I have been driving a manual transmission and a "normal" automatic with very little experience in hybrids. Someone who has driven hybrids more often will get used to the quirks and maybe even notice them less.
EDIT: In case anyone is wondering here are the cars I own
1994 MR2 Turbo (manual) - owned for 6 years - logged 80,000 miles
2001 Lexus IS300 (auto) - owned for ~2 years - logged 20,000 miles - selling it now that I bought a Prius today
