OK I’ll bite, what do you drive?

Corolla. Toyota dealer has loaner cars when mine is in for maintenance. I've taken a brand-new Prius for a loaner a few times. It's certainly an interesting piece of electrical and mechanical engineering, but it's severely lacking in power. It will NOT accelerate up the mountains in WV and western VA. Corolla has no problem with them.

it is difficult to argue with ignorance and dogma.

It's impossible to argue with facts and experience. I have facts and experience.

Not much difference in the times.

Having driven Suburbans for years, add a couple of kids, couple dogs and their stuff...they all accelerate about the same.
Seldom do I run max to 60 mph.

In the Rockies our Sub with a 3.72 did not like the steep grades.
