#1 should be #2.

Tom, any idea when the XC90 hybrid comes to the US Market? I heard as late as May.

I’m guessing I awoke from my comatose state in the Year of Our Lord 2016 and time has not been good to Ms. Miley Cyrus.

Can I put the wheels on my mountain bike?

Maybe, just maybe, the US government should throw a half million at WVU and ask them to test all cars (give them a travel budget to go anywhere in the US) to test every model. The university gets a certification document authorizing a 24hr road test.

So check to see if air is coming out of the vents (it can still be noisy and not actually push air). If the output is low or nothing, go to the dealership and explain to…

Neutral: not sure how the Lexus 12 pilot dealerships could make this work unless they have a monopoly on a geographical area already.
