The 2014 Toyota 4Runner SR5 Premium is part of the fifth-generation N280 series and received a mid-cycle facelift for 2014 that brought redesigned projector-beam headlights with LED daytime running lights, a new front grille, and updated taillights. Power comes from a 4.0-liter 1GR-FE V6 producing 270 horsepower and 278 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 5-speed automatic transmission and available part-time 4WD with A-TRAC and Downhill Assist Control. The SR5 Premium package adds leather and SofTex seating surfaces, heated front seats, and a 6.1-inch Entune touchscreen over the standard SR5, all wrapped in the 4Runner's proven body-on-frame construction.

The Super would have the Northstar V8 and while the engine was mostly sorted out by then they are higher maintenance and are a Premium Fuel recommended car, so you have to be willing to be spending $5+ per gallon. The 3900 V6 isn’t as exciting but it’s dependable and reasonably fuel efficient for such a large car -

I am looking for a good starter car and am thinking of a 2009 Buick Lucerne super. Is that a good starter car? if not, any suggestions? -

Took a look at the details in the recommended setup from PSE (Puget Sound Energy) and they say the typical house uses 20 to 40 kW over night and then having a battery pack equal too plus 10% for EV charging. PSE is recommending a 150 kW battery pack of storage so that I would not pull from the grid. Tesla FAILURE, Promise, Promise, Promise, and never deliver. Roadster 2.0 with huge deposits and still no car. Tesla promised a Roadster with 0 - 60mph in 2.4 seconds. BYD, sexy as hell as they deliver this roadster sexy monster! 0-60mph under 2 seconds.

What would you do?
The 2009 Buick Lucerne is an absolute SLEEPER car, but $18,000 is a bit much. A better price for one of those bad boys is about $3,500-$9,000. The super is also a MUCH better package as it has everything a cxl has, but with a 290 hp v8 -

It sounds like it all depends how big the storage is and how much you need to charge. It is possible you wouldn't have to pull from the grid though.- 1

Starter Car?
I'm 14 and looking for a good year round car to drive that still has potential to go sideways when I floor it. I'm thinking something like a 2009 Buick lucerne super that I can turn into my own little project car. Does that sound like a good starter car? If not, any suggestions? -

I guess I'm going to have to look into this. I do know my city gets its power from somewhere (likely Ameren), but it isn't an Ameren bill. It is a bill straight form the city. our Ameren bill is just for gas. -

I figure if I have storage, then I should pull from the storage at night rather than the grid and once the battery storage if filled, the surplus will go back to the grid during the day. Unless I am missing something. -

I mean, you'll probably pull from the grid since the EVs charge at night, but your NET will be adding to the grid daily rather than taking. -

Ahhhh, this reminds me of so many good movies. That building has been used in many movies. This years Tradeshow building has been Brutal. I will be so happy when this is all over and in June I can get back to having time to write stories for C&G. I have a part 2 that I need to complete on all the added details around the MAGMA GV60 as that auto is so cool with the tech. It puts both BMW M series and the Mercedes AMG series to shame. Korea has really stepped up their game in performance.
