In Australia anything thats more than 5cms lower than it came from the factory needs an engineers certificate and approval otherwise it gets fined and your car gets taken off the road.

This has one single button that you press to turn it back into a regular digital dash with all the information you're complaining about not having. So why don't you just press it?

I think like that too (Not to the point it becomes unsafe though.)

Not because I'm green and hypermiling, simply because I'm poor and petrol costs money, and doing a fast takeoff from a stop or missing a green light can be the difference between me making it to the petrol station and being stranded on the side of the…

This is the first time I've said this about any modern car, but I think it looks like a future classic.

I find it funny that in present, 1000 bottles of vodka is roughly $25-40,000

My 3Vz is at 192k miles with no head gasket problems. But the 5Vz is its older better brother so I would certainly nominate it.

I think that the idea is also that every car is fitted with this technology, therefore the car in front sees you speed up, so it matches a speed between you and the car in front of it.

My car disagrees.

Interesting, thanks for the explanation! :)
Its certainly won the race here, its almost as common (sometimes more common, depending on area) than diesel!

Is this any different than the LPG they've had in Australia since before I was born that can be attached to any car, and is available at every petrol station?

Until the last decade or so, Commodores and Falcons were the most bought cars in Australia.

So it certainly made business sense, and if they wanted to stay competitive with holden they couldn't pull any of their badge switcheryroos or start using little ecoboost engines!
The market has gone down alot recently now that…

Oh really? I thought the leather would have came standard at least :)
The seats not folding down really confuses me. It makes them alot easier to take out, but you lose a lot of functionality! Possibly got something to do with the golf club holder too. If thats a standard feature or not, mine has one :P

Ohhh, I've…

Perfect reaction +1

All regular australian coke is cane sugar ;)

Well, I recall my completely uneducated, wrongly quoted statement, and now will probably spend the next couple of hours looking up the intricacies of keyless systems! :)

Sorry to be so off topic, but having only owned forza 2 and forza 3, what features in forza 4 allow you to create such customised vehicles?!

Ive seen these sorts of things alot and really want to know :D

I'm pretty sure it has something to do with amount of distance travelled whilst the key is out of range too. I remember reading about it on jalopnik where some test drivers accidentally swapped keys and they got stuck a short way away from the meeting place.

Putting it like that completely enables the thief to drive ones that disable aswell, as long as the source antenna stays within target. Which with a little smartphone sized device is completely feasible. :/

I may not know a lot about keyless entry systems, but I know my brute forcing, and the fastest any of my testbed core 2 duo's were able to achieve at applying codes via brute force was around 25,000 a second. Granted this wasn't GPU work (which btw I am extremely interested in!) but say a hand-held device was capable…

What was the 250 like?

I have the iron block 3vz-fe engine (which was offered in Australia all the way till '96) and I love the torque, not the fastest car, but god is it good to drive. And when im off the probationary license I want to get some performance mods going.

I most likely will have a different lexus by then…
