What kind of gas mileage does the DTS deliver on a full-highway run, such as the one to Edmonton? (Converted into American, not km/liter)? (I love the DTS in Ice Blue Metallic with gray buckets and the base Luxury Group 1, or whatever it's called, has MORE gadgets than I will ever need).

How long until internal combustion engines are no longer the norm?
*snarling right now* Drew, Florida stands to lose more coastline/beach from global warming than does Cali. There's much more of a "shelf " up to CA's cities from the beach than there is FL. Still, I like the beach and I like both states.

Right. The fact that they were constructed of structural steel as opposed to reinforced concrete could, or may not have, made a difference. With steel buildings, there is a minimal amount of "skin" to protect them, so being subjected to the intense heat would take the steel to the yield point (I forget the technical term). With concrete buildings, depending on how much rebar, the quality/denominations of rebar, how much prestressing/poststressing was done and how much "cover" (concrete encasement of the rebar) is present, the buildings may have fared differently. It's something that would have to be modeled...and we need geeks with a PhD from Stanford, Berkeley or MIT to do that. Still, I do believe in global warming. The change in the earth's ice masses is nothing to be tampered with.

Well, you know I like the Allure. However, I'm really curious about what it's like to drive around in a DTS?

And here's another "no surprise" couple of YouTube links... First one: this one almost gets my teary-eyed...look at all the camera flashes going off toward the end of the vid... Second one: very cool, a historic moment, that's for sure... Enjoy

Degrees of freedom ... d.f. ... bad memories, a primal scream ... But I do agree with what you are saying.

Even thinking about this, or this lady, is enough to get one seriously depressed. What has the world come to?

Read preceding post. I, too, like traveling around in a luxo-boat when I'm on vacation. I'm still waiting for the day they (1) make a mistake, or (2) run out of cars and are forced to upgrade me several notches...to a DTS!

Toyota Yaris 1.5
To hide the luggage. There are way too many rental vehicles that don't allow for completely hiding belongings that it perplexes me. And for those cars that are SUPPOSED to have the cover or retractable vinyl pull, most of the time it ISN'T there. So I have to go back to the counter to get a passenger car.
