It's cool, he never does it without his Mentos.

Read the review (and the comments). Sam "Unapologetic Apple Fanboy" Biddle panned it but other writers on the site (I think it was Jesus Diaz) said he was possibly being a little harsh with his grading, and there's some back and forth between them in the comments...

Oh, and PS, congrats on the COTD!

Fair enough. But as a fleet/work truck companies likely don't want to shell out the extra $$ for something that's going to be used to haul things to and from a job site, so having a competitively priced 2WD option is a must (IMO).

Because when they're being used to haul things (you know, as trucks) the weight ends up being where it needs to be. For off-roading (or bad weather) you can always invest in some sand bags or whatnot.

Yes, yes it is. Then again, it's also taking the idea of a halo car to another level: this car does X, Y, Z but we're only going to sell it to you if you'll tell everyone you know about it and give us [even more] free marketing.

I know that, but I thought Lexus was trying to profile people who bought the car. Granted this is when it first came out and things may have changed since then. Here's the first article I could find about that:

Weren't they trying to make this a halo car of sorts, and making an effort to find buyers that would show the car off? (Lexus was definitely doing that with something, I just can't remember what...) Assuming the LF-A is the car then this is somewhat fitting.

no, they cut jason babin.

Well then i'm going to pre-order my wagon from the Tooth Fairy, Easter Bunny, and Santa Claus right now!

but is the diesel version coming to the states?

Weird, I was just going to make a comment about that. I just eyeballed the numbers (didn't do any math) and it looked like price and cost per point had a fairly linear relationship across all of the cars.

This is part of why I think they should have a "performance" total (with everything that affects driving) and an "everything else" total

I was wondering about this as well.

Good thing Sam didn't write this article. If he had it would have been about how a Dr. using an android phone missed a diagnosis and someone died but a Dr. using the iPhone version saved someone's life.

This looks like a Kei car (plow?) that Torch should be all over.

What about Subway? I hear they have $5 footlongs.

Lets not forget about homemade Transformers!

Interesting, thanks for following up from a few weeks ago with this look into the business side of things.

can i get it in a wagon? (sorry, couldn't help myself)
