Lexus needs to realize that you have two types of customers. Those that can afford 50-100K auto's and will want the Hybrid Performance. That is a name plate I believe all auto makers should use. Then you have those that stretch to get into the 30-50K auto's and having a luxury name plate is desired, but they still count their pennies and these people are wanting the Hybrid = MPG. So it makes sense to have a 200h that is all about MPG and then have a 300H Performance that is all about the driving machine. I hope cadillac will kep this in mind when they bring out the ELR, it would be good to have an ELR base model with good, solid MPG and then move up to a ELR Performance Edition.

Because it is a minor chance of possible injustice in face of the actual occurring injustice we have on going today. Can I get some examples please of what you consider occuring injustices? The forced tracking via a black box is a MAJORE INJUSTICE to our way of life, freedom of choice, etc.

Nice review, but polarizing exterior? The egg body style is the bland basic design of most cars. Yes I do love the look of this dart, but it also does turn me off with thebland egg shape. At least they did an awesome interior and use LED to properly give the blaw exterior some snazzzz.

Why SUV's are better for the roads than cars, the roads suck, so now we need to make sure the auto can handle grand canyon pot holes.

So in doing my research here in washington state, I end up with these figures for the cost of going CNG with a fueling system at home: 15,000 miles a year average travel 45% city, 55% highway driving As of 5/8/2012 average fuel prices per gallon for Washington state Regular - $4.00 Midgrade – $4.10 Premium - $4.20 Diesel - $4.35 CNG station - $1.89 CNG home - $0.68 Electricity – 0.15 per kilowatt hour E85 - $3.75 LPG - $3.99 60-90% less smog producing than regular gas 30-40% less greenhouse gas emissions Less expensive than gasoline ROI Info for CNG Auto’s 2012 Honda Civic CNG - http://automobiles.h...ic-natural-gas/ CNG Tank – 8.03 Gallons at 3600PSI 27 city / 38 hwy / 31 combined 15,000 miles / 31MPG = 483.870 gallons of CNG per year @ 0.68 per gallon = $329.03 fuel cost per yr 483.870 gallons of gas @ $4 per gallon = $1935.48 fuel cost per year for a $1606.45 yearly savings $5000 cost installed for a phill CNG gives you a Return on Investment of 3 years and 1 month.

Sweet, Yes I wish it was a manual, but I would take it if I had the money. Lovely Lady.

The tail lights remind me of the full size Toyota rear lights. Weird, but it is like they stole parts from all types of cars. Still interesting and ugly.

Probably 90% in Toyotas... Sadly you are pretty correct. Seems all the H1 visa workers like their asian cars especially toyota and lexus and acura. Most americans here love their Ford and GM. Plenty of trucks and suv's. Eco cars are not in demand just like the over loaded Fiat dealer here. I stopped by and talked with a sales peson who said they stopped listing the inventory on the web site, so they keep 200 or so on the web site for people looking but they rented the vacant steel plant and he say's they have about the same amount there in storage. The agreement for a Fiat dealership was to take all they shipped for the first year, no refusal, so he said they are sitting on 400 or so Fiats. Pretty crazy for a car that does not sell here.

SWEET That is an awesome ride. Enjoy it, drive it and put it away safely.

Good luck Dude, I know you can find work. If your up to relocating, Seattle is a boom town and there are plenty of Body Shops looking for experiance people. All those H1 Visa computer workers need to learn to drive. Daily I see them in fender benders.

So I know this is from a russian photo site, but what the hell kind of car is this. Anyone ever seen it before? Is this just a Russian mess or an actual car company product?

This is big enough that the news should be coveing this, your house and senate represenatives should be getting Mail about how this is NOT GOOD for America.

So paying off the gov is good, but again, i would seem it is still an elite car for the upper 10% at best of society. Too many things on the minds of people today to be saying this is important news when we clearly are still in a depression of slow growth.

Great pics, Not digging that interior in yellow on black. Kinda like a poopy baby diaper.

Yea, I always loved the Thunderbird SC, but the ones I see are always fully trashed. I would think even to far gone for a good project car to bring back to life.

I agree - these are hideously fugly - and the people who drive them are crack. Should someone call the funny farm and let them know one of their animals wandered off?

Yawn, none event for the bulk of america.

So on those Detroit Roads from Hell, how is the suspension holding up to the Hell Holes? How is the line of site for the front and back? To me the pictures make it appear as being a bit hard to gauge your corners due to the round off edges. Does this car have the latest InfoTainment system from GM? If so how does it work in comparison to the Ford Sync system?

Did you spend any time following the threads to read what people have dealt with or what dealers are posting and dealing with. After going through the first 20 or so, that right there shows a large issue for me does exist in the quality of the 3.6 pentastar. As regfootball says, the only thing left is to find out if these issues have been fixed and what he official chrysler stance is for these issues.

Awesome review of the 2012 Taurus. Thanks for the pictures, nice looking young man and woman you have there. Always cool to help out family, your son will remember the night.

Taurus is butt ugly compared to the PPV Caprice. Yet I feel the caprice could use a good dose of modernization. Due to everyone wanting to fit in like lemmings, I can understand the asian thing of the Hyundai but for the rest of the world while better than what Toyota or Honda has to offer, it is still a bit blaw to me.

Awesome Matchbox, I wish I still had my whole collection which was huge and perfect condition. But then out of love I gave it to my Nephew who enjoyed them but destroyed them.

How can you call this Paranoia. A box that records your everything that ges on in the car and then a crazy bitch or buch who gets a lawyer and then uses this to try and make a point or insurance companies who say drive our way or we charge you ten times the rate or refuse to insure you, etc. The list is long but this is not paranoia especially when both gov and companies have always proved to use things to increase their profits or call it public safety but in reality all about control.

This is exactly why I posted what I did. Another Freedom taken away. Wonder how long before they come up with laws that outlaw driving older auto's just so they can track you.

H'mmmm Kinda ugly and yet cute like a racoon.
