Prius Super Bowl Ad: Cops Call BS ... That Thing Will NEVER Outrun Us!
Prius Super Bowl Ad Cops Call BS ... That Thing Will NEVER Outrun Us!
That Prius Super Bowl commercial rubbed cops the wrong way -- not because it made high speed chases look like good, clean fun ... but because it's a big fat lie!
Several law enforcement sources tell us the Prius spot was hysterically unrealistic. One source said, "Loved it, funny as hell ... like a Prius is going to outrun anything."
Other reviews included:
- "overdone"
- "silly"
- "you can't outrun a helicopter"
They've got a point. The new Prius 4 tops out around 105 mph, while a police cruiser can do at least 120 mph -- and their 0-60 times are a laughable 10.5 seconds compared to 6 flat.
Now, a few sources were concerned about the ad's overall message, saying ... "I had to tell my kids running from cops is a bad thing." But the overall take on Prius' attempt to look worthy of a felony -- "goobery and dumb."
