Sorry in advance for nitpicking but I just can't let this one go.

Better or smoother? I'd believe smoother so long as the writer has never been in any other CVT based vehicle.

Holy cow it looks like the writer actually did mean better/faster! It is a sad day when a Prius is considered a musclecar. Don't get me wrong the Prius is one cool car and is most of the other things that were mentioned in the OP but the Prius surely is not fast by any stretch of the imagination. I'd be happy to race for pink slips (titles) from 0 to 55 any day with a stock Prius.
Most of the cars and trucks I've owned are faster to 55 than a Prius. Perhaps the Civic hybrid is not one of them but look at my other current car......
Who wants to race their Prius?
