Ouch! Car and Driver grants the 04 Prius an award, and the guy on the video both downplays it and says he "doesn't know what they were thinking!"

Geeze - that is terrible!
"Hey - wow - there are really some goofs out there... I'm not one of them... I have no idea what I am talking about this car for.... but hey - some people like it so it must be something.. OK? Is that alright with you?"
Where did they get this guy? Almost as good as that quote that running the car in "B" mode charges the battery quicker!

This is a joke, right?
If not, I suppose it could be said that the car is so great that even people who hate it put it in the top 10!

Yeah... didn't make much sense to me, either. It's almost as if those with the votes disappointed their bosses, so the bosses put this Mr. Brilliant in the video to try and downplay the car.

Re: Ouch! Car & Driver Video
How about dork? I don't understand why he was picked to do that segment. He wasn't on my list. I didn't vote for him to show how little he knows about anything that costs less than $50K or takes longer than 5 seconds to get to 60 miles per hour.
He rather spend his money on leather seats and speed that he can't use (what's he ROI on those options?!?). I rather spend it on something I can use.
