Not in the Prius. I don't believe the Honda has this ability either, but I
don't have first-hand knowledge of that car like I do of the Prius. BTW, my
folks both absolutely love my Mom's Prius. My Dad has a really nice Dodge
Caravan, but unless they have more than four people to carry, they *always*
take the Prius on all their trips. Now that my Dad's retiring, I expect
that his Caravan will probably get driven something very close to never.
