The Toyota Prius has always been a little quirky. From its futuristic exterior body styling to its space-ship dash, Toyota's best-selling hybrid can only be described as "unique" (I'll leave the interpretation of the word to the readers). But Prius owners who encounter snow days have learned that the car's quirkiness extends beyond the superficial.
According to this article, a Prius owner has noticed that the car will come to a complete stop under snowy or icy-road conditions. Even with tire chains, the slip in the wheels is enough to activate the traction control in such a way that the car will refuse to move. The symptoms were duplicated by his Toyota service manager when two other Prius cars were tested on level surfaces covered with snow.
