Contrast this recent news report,

http://www.buffalonews.com/city-region/police-blotter/troopers-ask-for-help-finding-xbox-game-thieves-20151125 [buffalonews.com] "...The thieves were seen fleeing the store in a gray Toyota Prius."

With the infamous letter from Clyde Barrow to Henry Ford,
http://www.snopes.com/business/consumer/barrow.asp [snopes.com] "...For sustained speed and freedom from trouble the Ford has got every other car skinned, and even if my business hasen't been strickly legal it don't hurt anything to tell you what a fine car you got in the V8."

Something just feels wrong when thieves use a Prius as a their getaway car!
