The new 2010 Prius has a Power boost now, so when you floor it allows for full acceleration. Now you get to from 50 to 70 mph in 4.1 seconds. Significantly better then any of the cars you listed. And if you set it to Eco mode then you can still get there in 5.8 seconds. Which still meets or beats all your comparables except the Altima.
