HiHy Mini Site I'd signed up for e-mail announcements and finally got one on the '06 Highlander Hybrid...they're really finally starting to release usable information. The Above link is for the official Toyota HiHy Mini site and it has a lot of data including a link to the PDF of the e-brochure. Look, also, at the gallery at that site...the updated energy screen shows both drive MGs...should be able to see when one or both are active....
i wonder if they are using that blasted bladder sytem in this car too. It's good for enviromental reasons but is fustrating if you want to just drive the car and expect x amount of fuel left because the guage tells you so.
great pics Evan... as far as the bladder issue, i prefer the benefits to the environment over the additional range of the vehicle that might be available without the bladder
