excuses, excuses, excuses...I wonder what's the real reason for stopping the project? A lack of interest? a 3.6L DI would provide ample power, and excellent fuel economy what's the new STS 298hp, that's plenty even 265hp is good

only auto is a CVT
-
two rear suspensions are available one is a double wishbone, no models are awd
-
well none of the others can manage a SULEV emission score. the LS600h offers acceleration on par if not faster then its BMW and Audi competitors, all while getting fuel economy on par w/the GS350 awd. btw, the LS460 is both 2007 world car of the year, and SAE's best engineered vehicle.

now, do you really think 55+yr olds are making any attempts at being cool? and Lexus might just add another car that is over $100k. FYI: Toyota stopped using timing belts in their latest motors. I expect all future Lexus vehicles to carry either an h or f badge.

in the real world few people sit correctly. this test was conducted by the INSURANCE institute, this isn't about safety whiplash is a sore neck that heals in a matter of days.

take a look under the superduty Fords -
Tell Gillman to take the ad off your car.

it would be useful to actually give a % that and I believe the nation's trade deficit results largely from oil importation

Volt will likely never be as cost effective as today's hybrids.
toyoguy replied to GXT's topic in General Motors
Toyota president send the next Prius will have lithium batteries. I dunno if he meant lithium-ion or just plain lithium, from current NiMH battery. Toyota is keeping a tight lip on the next Prius, as they want to keep competitors as much in the dark as possible. If I'm not mistakend electric motors offer near 100% efficiency. -
why don't we just pay the real cost of oil at the pump, minus governement subsidizes. then nobody could afford to drive anymore.
-
I doubt someone on this board would be having a fit, now that Toyota is on his turf.

my facts are fine, Texas is the largest market for pickups and full size SUV's. Apparently Toyota has already managed to convince two Texans, they built a billion+ dollar truck plant here that employs thousands Texans.

the Avalon has won edmunds, CR, motortrend, C&D, automobile mag comparos. nice attempt at dismissing it. remote unlocking, useless with "push-button ignition" hands-free calling, ever heard of bluetooth. turn-by-turn, ever heard of navi theft tracking, that's a real deal breaker. emergency response, real useful if you're paranoid and don't know how to use a cell subscription is free now?
-
I didn't realize people bought pickups in Massachusetts. Where I live 1/2 tons easily dominate the roads. I drive once a week, if even that often. Out here I see HD trucks more often than Accords, Civics, Camries, or Corollas combined, probably why Toyota builds the Tundra where pickups should be built...in Texas.
-
I've already seen two Tundra's out on the road in west Texas, so much for it's not going to sell.

instead of asking me, you could read the article.

if that's the case then their wouldn't be any money on the hood, of course it matters

10% for a new MY is nothing to get excited about.
