The black one with the TRD kit looks freakin' awesome! Can't wait to see one in person.

There is nothing wrong with 300h at all.

That we noticed: The positive external impression is reinforced by the driving experience - the car looks extremely handy and compacted. This is not a nervous sports sedan family, no soft swing, but a high-tech package with juicy steering, balanced chassis and a compelling drive. The combination of gasoline engine and electric motor is now one of the basics of the Toyota Group , which also belongs Lexus. The continuously variable transmission provides smooth driving, and even the car moves very quiet and casual.

It seems like there is a problem to link the photo directly from that web site. Anyway, here is the link to the photo. A new IS been hit. Must be the first in the world
