Friends: 0 | I don't really understand how the described system is any different from what Toyota already has on the market today... The first mode sounds like it's a full hybrid system like Hybrid Synergy Drive... but the second mode doesn't really say anything except that it's better at highway speeds. |

Friends: 5 | Sounds like they are merely playing catchup... nothing new and earthshattering.... not impressed with the economy either..I"m still trying to figure out why anyone thinks they need more power!... unless they are pulling something... where and how much faster than 110MPH do you need to go? At least they are doing something.... Thats better than rolling over and dying I suppose. |
