    Yeah if he drove in America like this we can peer into the rear view mirror and see a HUGE KENWORTH grill and then the video on YouTube would surface to document his demise. Replace this truck/trailer with Prius

    Correct. The written language is most definitely Korean and NOT Japanese. I'm 99% sure he's speaking Korean, as well.

    Yeah its Korean writing as you see the many circular 'OHs" in their written language. Chinese and Japanese do not.

    So for those keeping score: The OP is from Sweden the discussion is about a Japanese car by a Korean speaking driver and it's posted on an American website. :confused: Welcome to the WORLD WIDE WEB. :LOL:



    This is why I gave up on hybrids and went back to plug-in's. For me to get good hybrid mileage (meaning at least meet EPA numbers), I had to resort to hypermiling techniques including some Bob mentioned above and for me the costs outweighed the benefits. Now with my plug-in EV covering most of my driving needs, I can drive "normally" (and in silence) yet still have stellar economy.
