There is no way that these races should be run with flags governing the vehicles.  That was advanced technology when racing started in the early 1900's but has no place in modern racing.  In modern racing there should be an instant message (both visual and verbal) to all cars on the track that the race is now running…

They usually do take a conservative approach but when they introduced the Prius it was revolutionary to most people and it was a gamble that paid off well for Toyota.  This is the reason people expect Toyota to be a leader in EVs as well.

Since my car was a two year old car with next to no km’s I got it at less than the price of a new Fusion Titanium non-hybrid when they were still being sold.  As I was shopping people were selling used Camrys and Accords for more than my almost new Plug-in Hybrid.  I only shopped at dealers for cars with remaining…

This looks so much better than any version of the Prius ever.  I’d definitely consider buying this; my only question is whether to buy the EV or the PHEV.

The Flex and the MKT share a platform, they are not rebadged in any sense of the word.  The same is true for the Taurus and the MKS as they were significantly different from each other.

I still want one.

The Quest/Villager were jointly developed by Mercury and Nissan although Nissan was planned to be the manufacturer all along.

It was sold as the Pontiac Wave in Canada long before it came out as the G3 in the USA.

When you look at dealerships in Canada there were more dealerships that sold GMC than sold Chevrolet.  Hence for the longest time it was GMC that outsold Chevrolet trucks in Canada.  This might be a reason why GM hasn’t combined the two brands.

I always thought that Ford’s twin I-beam front suspension was exclusive to 4x4 Fords or am I wrong on that?  

I’d definitely consider that for my next vehicle.

Or a slightly bigger battery RAV 4 Prime.

But just 25 or so years ago they led by introducing the Prius hybrid cars and they were leaders in this field for a long time.  While still being able to produce a lot of hybrids, they are giving up their leadership.  

While your comments make sense, Toyota sells probably 80 percent of its production outside of Japan and in these places outside of Japan demand for BEV’s is growing much more quickly than Toyota acknowledges. 

This seems to be a chicken and egg question. In order for more people to buy EV’s there needs to be charging infrastructure, but in order for there to be more infrastructure there need to be more EV’s. In actual fact suburban people generally already have the infrastructure for EV’s at home. If you are a two-car…

If you were renting electric cars wouldn’t you have a fast charger at your location?

Sure don’t listen to anyone who actually drives a hybrid or a plug-in hybrid. I also am a suburban driver whose daily commute is about 85 percent divided highway and 15 percent city streets. Even on the highway I find that the hybrid system cuts fuel use considerably. I recently took an 800 km (500 mile) where I…

As an owner of a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle I couldn’t disagree with you more. I bought mine as a used car (with only 1500 km’s) last year for only 30 000 Canadian when a comparable gasoline car would also have been similarly priced.  Now with the high price of gasoline I get between 1000 and 2000 km’s per…

This seems like something that should be illegal in my opinion.  How could it possibly be legal for a hospital to refuse to give care to car accident victims?  This wouldn’t happen in a country where everyone has health insurance or national health service coverage.

“Unplanned maintenance” accounted for most of this.  Isn’t “Unplanned maintenance” a euphemism for a major breakdown?
