  1. Top speed, about 15 mph.
  2. I think it looks pretty darn good. It doesn't have the spindle grille though
  3. Lots of good CPO options out there. CPO XTS?
  4. They're just not as satisfying as a bigger cylinder count and bigger displacement engine. Smaller turbocharged 4-cylinder engines belong in smaller cars... not truck. It's just a way for manufacturers to game the EPA.
  5. It will feel under powered next to the CT4.
  6. The current generation Toyota Mirai has never been a "looker". It seemed like some sort of Prius with a glandular problem. Toyota hopes to change that and make the fuel cell vehicle sexy with the new 2021 Toyota Mirai Sedan Concept. The new concept sits on a rear-wheel drive platform and sports an new, more powerful fuel cell powertrain. Toyota claims a 30-percent increase in driving range with increased hydrogen capacity. Most importantly thought, Toyota un-weirded the Mirai so that it now looks like something that might sit in a Lexus showroom rather than Toyota. The next generation Toyota Mirai will go on sale in late 2020. View full article

  8. Fun trip. I've been to Oshawa before when they were building the Camaro.
  9. Toyota has announced that they will be bringing a new Toyota RAV4 Hybrid to the Los Angeles Auto Show this year. The difference for this hybrid is that it will be a plug-in and it will also be more powerful. Toyota promises "spirited acceleration" in their press release. As we get closer to the show, we'll get more details on range, power, battery size, etc. The RAV4 is already the best selling crossover in the segment and that could mean that the RAV4 PHEV could end up being the most popular PHEV for sale. Globally that title currently belongs to the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. Toyota has twice previously made full EV versions of the RAV4, but limited their sales primarily to California where they enjoyed limited success as "compliance vehicles" with 1,484 sold of the first generation and 2,600 copies of the 3rd generation. There was no second generation RAV4 EV. View full article

  11. Well, I'm officially 100% work from home for at least the next 4 months.They're renovating the offices and a bunch of us who work from home regularly were told not to come in anymore.
  12. I would have camped out there for hours waiting.
  13. Vintage VW bus in great shape. Red with a white upper half. And a 1977 Dodge Royal Monaco
  14. I drove the A-Class yesterday... I would call the power "sufficient", not not for the price they're asking.
