That would be a race between a Prius and an Insight.

So what, we are all interested in 0-60 times. It gives you an impression of the acceleration and the ''push you in your seat'' capacity of a car.

A car that consistently gets a 0-60 of 4.5 seconds will feel pretty different than a car that gets 6.5 seconds.

Amen. Just because the S isn't a 0-60 car (its still quick) doesn't mean some of us arn't curious.

Car and Driver had a very good perfomance index they published about 5-6 months ago but I can't find it with a search. It had 0-60 and 1/4 times of just about anything of interest.

SCRATCH THAT. Found it. Best I have seen.
