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 cruise can do at least 120 mph -- and their 0-60 times are a laughable 10.
