I'd rather have the Lexus . Speaking of hybrids, I saw my first Mercedes S class hybrid today.

This is old news. They presented it a few months ago and since no one gives a **** so they try to bring it up over and over. I believe Tony even posted about it last week where it got 0 replies here. Hell I ran a flat 14.0 at the track without even trying. I am sure I could give this a run for its money if I CARED.

I think its great Nissan followed Lexus into this rare air and gives consumers another option. These high performance hybrids are not volume cars but Nissan has to be extremely disappointed that in a year this car will be out next month it has hardly made any noise (a pun since it is a hybrid ) with image or sales. No one can blame the Tsunami since they openly stated and advertised how much inventory they had.

Thanks mahn, thank our lovely folks at Carson Toyota/L-tuned parts, Steve Ganz and Luis, etc....I'll buy from them until I die.

They are like anchors...unreal and it does not affect hybrid performance. I'm not the first though, the guys in Japan did it long ago and some CL members here...

zz0122 did it on his GS 450h...IS F BBK...



LucasB, Stormeforge and others have modded their 450h, none of us have ever came across that hybrids rule and everything else stinks. We just think this is "the future" of modifying cars and we are destroying a lot of negative talk and thoughts when it comes to hybrids. They can be fun too.

I hear you. I have access to all Lexus, Acura, Infiniti, BMW, and Mini models at the Automall I work at. Its fun to compare say a GS450h to an M35h

Mods, I think the thread title should be changed as it is clearly baiting .

you're exactly right, and i just it before seeing your post.

Batman - do not start threads or make posts saying any particular users won't like what you're posting - that's clearly baiting. if you have any questions or comments, PM a moderator.
