I'm trying to get a Prius and they're in such demand that I have my name on a waiting list.

Not a theory, If I am involved in a test it will be from the seat of my Excursion, I wouldnt put a beloved member of my family in one of those death traps.

Let's face it that car is as small as a tin can and would in no way, shape or form ever come out on the better end of an accident with an SUV. EVER!!
