I was laughing at the hybrid emblems, which look like a pure joke, but that interior made me throw up in my mouth.

They should call it Suede-LIKE interior. Original sticker shows Leather interior. Wonder how bad it was that the entire interior had to be re-done.

I wouldn't have gone past the cheesy Hybrid emblems. Even if this car has every option available, PCS, ML, ****, etc.

It should be a crime to do that to such a once fine automobile....

He should be arrested for attempted suede.

BTW, do you guys have any idea if this is a hybrid or not?

The funny thing is him adding "hybrid" badges proves Toyota/Lexus studies that people who do buy them want others to know its a hybrid. Thus Lexus added the "blue" hue to hybrid cars.

It still is pretty subtle though.
