Default neat features from MBUSA.COM

Enroute searching for SLR came the "Model Selector."
In there are 4 categories of MSRP, BODY STYLE, HORSEPOWER, & 0-60 MPH with tiny MB cars dotted over a spreadsheet.

Toyota.com has similar layout by price and MPG and it totally kicked any eurobox's a22.

What surprised me was the "0-60 MPH, under 4 sec" result highlighted a G500 instead of the G55. Not that I really care for how fast these tanks can go form 0-60 but interesting none the less.

Select "5 sec" instead and you'll find G55. 'Nuff said.

No WAY could a 292-hp 5.0L V8 haul a 5500 lb vehicle to 60 in under 4 seconds. The G55 MAYBE, with 470 hp, but I still doubt it. Funny mistake though, lol

lol, 12 city / 14 highway

i think it must be some glitches then, even the e55 can't do under 4 sec, i don't think the g55 can do it

and gas mileage? that's suv man, what do you want. check the gas mileage for the gx470 and lx470, it's not even funny

All of your comments have spoken my heart. I almost chuckled a bit when the 4-sec result came out. To err is human, to forgive is against my white toyota posterior Just kidding. Let's just let this one go so there would not be any potential inter-forum feud or flame wars.
