But apparently, at least in this case, the hybrid system is so tightly coupled that you can't limp along with only gasoline power--you can't even limp along.
That was educational.
That was educational.

BINGO! Yes I am that guy. We took delivery of the car late August and that's a surprise present for my wife. So far she has put 4200 miles in it already. I guess that means she really loves it. How's yours so far?
We were thinking about driving it to Bloomington tomorrow for the game, but given the weather, maybe we will just stay home.

We love our new Lexus RX400h. We only have a little over 1100 miles on it and it seems like it gets better every day.
Go Bucks!
