    And 302hp! We really miss our ‘07 V-6 AWD Rav… it was a rocket, and I bet the new one is even more fun. I used to love trolling ricers in that thing!

    Uh duh, But we are saying landlords won’t have adequate charging spots for their tenants (if they don’t have “covered parking” for solar)

    They're not hard to put in and I'm sure tenants will be looking for these amenities as electric cars become more prevalent.

    Not all apartments had carports when I lived in Phoenix but we made that an important part of looking for an apartment when I lived there as you had to keep your car in the shade in summer.

    Sienna with Hybrid AWD - Seems like a test model for at wheel motors for upcoming vehicles, like an EV truck maybe? I think this is Toyota's first vehicle with electric motors at the drive wheels.

    Most people wont have a place to charge their EV at home if their only option for parking is a public street.

    I don't see land lords bothering to accommodate their tenants EV needs, nor should they.

    If the chargers are at no cost to them then they shouldn't care. Plus it's an incentive to rent.

    Right now it's planned for motorsports so a perfect testing platform.

    The only people I picture driving EVs are lawyers and hipster chicks.

    interesting

    F1 is moving to a new , yet announced new engine in about 5 years from their current 1000hp , 1.6L V6 turbo hybrid . Lots of chatter about what platform they may go with

    Wow. I see maybe Toyota getting back into the F1 game? They'd have to have an open patent if they homogenized F1 to Hydrogen piston power units...hmmm

    But 3 cyl ? Anything under 6 is a disappointment... That's what she said.

    Hydrogen tanks leak in an accident if damaged but won't explode. Gas cars are more dangerous.

    Serious question time; would not a spark or open flame source cause the leaking hydrogen to Hindenburg?
