Toyota to postpone plug-in Prius?
Author: adminDecember 14, 2009
Not until 2014?On Monday, Toyota is going to provide an update on when it plans to begin selling plug-in hybrid vehicles.
In previous, official plug-in conversations, Toyota has indicated that its launch date would be 2012, however, there are now rumors that the launch date is going to be moved back to 2014.
I can’t believe Toyota would be that stupid. Today, plug-ins aren’t about sales, they are about marketing and public relations. If Toyota can’t keep pace with the rest of the pack on plug-ins, the PR nightmare than will ensue will be far worse than the losses on producing 10,000 or 20,000 plug-in hybrids per year.
If Toyota hopes to maintain their green mojo, they better bring a plug-in to market by 2011.

Audi A6 3.0 TFSI quattro: Review
Author: adminDecember 14, 2009
Interesting review here of the Audi A6 3.0 TFSI quattro.
Of course, the biggest mechanical difference between then and now is the supercharged V-6, which arrived last year. This engine is just so sweet, much more refined than most supercharged units. It casts a glow wherever it appears. The power almost feels like overkill, but with gas mileage this reasonable, I say "Why not?" Consider it the
