10 seconds is MUCH faster then you really ever get to accelerate in traffic anyway. The point is, for regular everyday driving, it's PLENTY powerful enough.

Also, I bet if you'd compare 100-140 km/h times for a Prius vs just about any regular drivetrain in the same car class, the Prius would be significantly faster, thanks to the extra torque of the electric motor.
