Do Priuses run stop signs at a higher rate? If so, is it because of the awful A pillars, or because they are trying to conserve momentum?

Are you trying to tell us something, Danny?
Also, what's your verdict of the Prius after having it for a couple of years? Still like? Big enough for family trips?
I wonder if Toyota ever put much thought into the use of the plural form of Prius. What an ungainly word.
Having suffered through many years of Latin, I feel mildly confident pointing out that "prius" is a Latin verb meaning "to precede" or something along those lines. However, Prius today is used as a noun, so. . . .
. . .
A quick Google search reveals this mildly humorous gem.
Incidentally, it amuses me to learn that Danny has a Prius since we too have a Prius, having gleefully embraced the little marvel after seven miserable years behind the wheel of New Beetle. That wretched VW vermin was literally in the shop 40 times, yet never officially qualified as a lemon. Our Prius, now going on four years, has never been in the shop.
That we happened to go hybrid just in time for oil to skyrocket was pure simple luck.
And as for A pillars, the Beetle has about the worst imaginable. They are truly a safety hazard. The Prius is a huge improvement.
