And the Prime has horrific acceleration, an annoyingly noisy engine, terrible road noise, and doesn't even get enough mileage range on the battery to qualify for the California HOV lanes.

Toyota needs to go back to the drawing board for a hybrid rather than bolting a battery to a Prius.

All incorrect:

  - Prius Prime does qualify for HOV lanes
  - Prius Prime is much quieter than previous generation Prius 
  - Prius Prime acceleration in my experience is just fine.
Also, I regularly see 62 MPG on highway driving at 65 MPH.
