Are they refering to the brake padels being stuck and can't slow down so people are shouting Toyotas are coming!! so people can scramble out of the way?

I think so. You definitely don't want to get run over by a Prius. That would be so embarassing.

I don't care for commercials that don't show the product they're advertising...

Personally ... I think they are trying to get people thinking before the onslaught of new next-Gen toyota models (Starting with the new Camry) ...

The way they have lightened/thinned-out the 3Gen Prius sheet-metal/trim/interior materials, I'm not so sure it would do that much damage if it actually hit something.

Oh. Getting run over by a Prius probably wouldn't be that bad then. It's still embarrassing though.

I can't believe how quiet these things are. They are so sneaky!

Just saw a Toyota commercial with Toyotas on a tractor trailer for delivery at a dealership. It ended with "The Toyotas are here" or something.
