I own a Prius, but I do think Honda needs to ensure that some of their hybrid line doesn't continue to be bottom-of-the-line as far as performance. Not only will this discourange most anyone from even considering them, but it's tainting the hybrid image and could have long-lasting effects. Push those things until their performance is comparable to other Hondas. THEN tout the fuel economy.
