I dunno -- I've never driven a compressed air powered car, but I would guess that they're a little like steam engines: Maximum torque at 0 RPM. That might make for unexpectedly good "perceived" performance, which might translate into better perceived performance per dollar than with the (far more complex) Prius design.
