Like others have said about 40MPH is what I can do with my friend's Prius. Going back to Touring Prius - it's hard to find Touring Prius with no package in Bay Area, the least is package#3 which costs a bit more than package#4 in regular Prius. Since most dealers don't even have touring with package#3, they try to fool you that package#4 is better (more options) which is not so true. The main difference in this scenarios stands still, the touring will get 16" alloys and sport suspension.

In any case, I decided to keep my HCH I instead of buying Prius this time, I'm afraid I'd lose too much money selling my HCH since new Prius costs only $21,200 (no package) in this area.
