Mate, im not writing it off, id just like to see some specs before declaring it the answer to road travel.

I looked it up on the official Toyota website..... there are no real figures there.... all it says is battery is used for " slow" speeds... you tell me 60Klm+... i hardly call that slow, so why so vague on the website?
IF it allows you to use 50% LESS fuel then id say that figure is something to shout about... problem is that they are NOT shouting about it and my instincts start to kick and and tell me there is a vital piece of information missing.

So we have cutting edge technology and piss poor marketing... or.... they are witholding figures to suit an agenda.

Sorry mate.. i hear you OK, but you are shouting louder than Toyota themselves and given your enthusiasm for Stern ACDC which you now want to sell, we can be forgiven for taking it all with a pinch of salt
