The U.S. automakers have been licking their chops to take a hard swipe at Toyota over unintended acceleration. None had the guts to actually do it. Saturday Night Live SNL, however, does ? with this anti-Toyota commercial Ford wishes they could really run.

Yep, and they made hybrids with the same sort of braking issues as the Prius...

The difference is that the Prius is actually without brakes at times, but the FoMoCo's have brakes at all times. I would much rather drive a vehicle that *seems* to have no brakes than one that *actually* has no brakes, IYKWIM :-)
Ummmmmmm - you sure of that? Stepping on the brake pedal of a Ford hybrid does the same as stepping on the brake pedal of a BrandX hybrid... The car goes into regenerative braking.... The first brake you feel is the wheel motors turning into generators...
FWIW... hybrids give a whole new focus on bleeding brakes...
