"Motorists who own the flashy German built cars are more likely to tailgate, flick the finger and speed than anyone else on the road, a poll revealed.

More than half of all drivers said they had suffered a 'bad experience' at the hands of a BMW driver. "

They really should change the title to the most frustrated! If only those morons would get out of our lane!

All I can say is that the shittiest and angriest drivers are always in Camry's. Done.

One of my buddies traded his BMW for a Prius. I currently forbid him to make any automotive decisions without first requesting my opinion, and for the last several years Ive frequently heard about what a mistake that was.

Prius should be for teenagers and old people - it has no acceleration whatsoever (I bought one for my business so I know...) Absolutely no excitement on the road driving that car, no torque etc etc...

Prius has NO acceleration. That isn't safe either. And if you drive a Prius, I come along and smoke you up with my 550HP F-250 Turbo Diesel.

I rode in my buddies new prius; it was more spacious inside than I thought; all the cool led panel displays are neat too
but overall the little thing couldn't accelerate; was just slow and steady
