I'm sure someone has. It just creeps me out. When I saw the guy behind the headlight I about freaked. Then that dude in the trunk is the worst. Now I can't open a trunk at night without looking for him. I didn't think anything was creepier than the Burger king guy until I saw this.

the american tech was saying the engine was a V10 so that means itll probably be the Lexus thing. i said "that V10 w/ 500hp" and he said "probably more then that is what im thinking, its supposed to be an exotic killer" . so who really knows if a Supra will re-appear, im thinking itll be a Lexus badged sports car w/ a price tag out the wahzoo!

edit: the tech guy said it takes about 5 years to test and evaluate all brand new releases b/c he tested the NEW Tundra for about 2 years b4 it came out

What is real sad is if Lexus comes out with that LF-A, and Toyota comes out with that 400hp hybrid internet wars will wage for centuries over which one is actually the Supra Replacement.

i was reading about how they are testing a hybrid car in an MR2 body...its wider and longer than the original MR2, looks like an MR-S. so im thinking that they are going to use similar styling to the old line and use the old names but add like an H or something.

the american guy came up today was talking about a job at the proving grounds and seeing if i was interested in working out there! i lol'd a bit.

those wheels are on all the 07 Prius' iirc.

if i lost my job b/c of the pics i would sue b/c of wrongful termination but that probably wont ever happen

well Mr.HM, i dont live in canadica so i dont have the luxory of own a RHD supra right now! .l.. :)

I work at YPG. It's not bad. I could see myself doing what I do for a little while, but I am thinking that I want to get away from Yuma and the influence that the cult has in town.

One question fellas where does 99% of out hydrogen come from, that right crude oil, so how is the answer to anything, especially when a tank of it has fuck all driving range (BMW 7 series is like 150-200km on a tank of it).

To produce via electrolysis is inefficient ie more electricity is needed to separate water into hydrogen in oxygen then is created by burning the hydrogen.

Hydrogen based cars are useless wastes of time and money.

If you had read the article you would see that they are not using electrolysis.

And hydrogen isn't just in oil, it is the third most abundant element on earth, it is in water, soil, and all organic matter.

Hydrogen would be an ideal energy source if we found a more efficient way of producing it. Such as the one listed in the article.

it'd be nice to see a few reasonably priced hybrids capable of 170+mph, but I doubt it'll happen within the next few years...

It would be nice, but all the Environmentalist would have a hissy fit about Toyota claiming to be about the environment with their hybrid technology and then coming out with a sports car. And then they would catch flack for coming out with muscle hybrids like Honda did last year.
