Thanks! I'll miss the GS for sure, but having a baby totally changed my vehicle of choice.

Decided to get a tank to protect the family!

Congratulations on the baby.

Nice GS hybrid.

I thought hybrids do not need smog. None of my Lexus hybrid vehicles ever got smoged. Hybrids are exempt. Maybe at the point of sale will need a smog certified?

Thanks Lexusrus!

CA started requiring smogs for hybrids in April 2015.

Implementation Schedule

1. Why are hybrids being brought into the Smog Check Program?Hybrids are designed to meet strict emission standards and to provide improved fuel economy over conventional vehicles. However, hybrid emission control systems experience the same causes of long-term deterioration affecting other vehicles. Emission control system malfunctions on hybrids can cause emissions to sharply increase. By ensuring that hybrid emission-related problems are identified and then properly repaired, emission levels will remain low over the life of the vehicle.

Since their introduction to the California market in 2000, hybrid vehicles could not be properly tested on the BAR-97 equipment that was introduced in 1997. This equipment could not test the emissions of hybrids as the vehicles would switch into electric mode during an inspection. The new Bureau of Automotive Repair On-Board Diagnostic Inspection System (BAR-OIS), which is based on a visual inspection of emission control components and a scan of the vehicle's On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) system, has resolved this testing issue.

2. When will hybrid inspections begin?Change-of-ownership inspections and inspections for all out-of-state hybrid vehicles registering in California for the first time will require a Smog Check starting April 16, 2015. The Department of Motor Vehicles will also begin mailing registration renewal notices requiring a Smog Check to hybrid owners in April 2015 for registrations due in July 2015.

3. Which types of hybrids will be required to receive a Smog Check?All hybrid vehicles will be subject to a Smog Check. Just like traditional gasoline-powered vehicles, hybrid vehicles six model-years and newer are exempt from the biennial Smog Check requirement. Hybrid vehicles four model-years and newer are also exempt from the change-of-ownership Smog Check requirement.

For more information, refer to BAR's Smog Check Requirements by Vehicle Type table.

Whats the maintenance like with the Hybrid compared to regular engine?

Hey Toyotabike,

Here is a great read about the maintenance on hybrids.

Regular Maintenance Costs Are a Draw
Most hybrid cars do not require any additional regular maintenance on the hybrid-specific components. An exception is the air filter on the battery system of the now-discontinued Ford Escape Hybrid, which needs to be replaced every 40,000 miles.

The gasoline engine in a hybrid vehicle requires the same maintenance that it would if it were the only power source driving the vehicle. That means regular tune-ups and oil changes every 5,000-10,000 miles, depending on the vehicle and the driving conditions.

One important hybrid benefit is that ordinary vehicles need to have their brake pads changed regularly. But hybrids' regenerative braking systems eliminate much of the wear on the mechanical brakes, so their brake pads typically last much longer, says Carolyn Coquillette, owner and lead mechanic of Luscious Garage in San Francisco, and a hybrid vehicle specialist.

How many owners before you? Why did the hybrid battery need to be replaced?

Definitely a beautiful car but a bit more than what I want to spend for a commuter at the moment. Free bump
