    My statement wasn't based on research of the car itself. 45 just seemed like a nice number. My statement was more based on the fact that, aside from the Tesla roadster, most hybrid/electric cars are the SPED kids of the car design world.

    The Tesla, however, is sex on 4 wheels, that out-accelerates a lambo...



    in a few weeks I get to go meet the design guys behind this machine... so stupid excited.

    Fuck stance. Stance is for kids in skinny jeans with Justin Beiber haircuts. You don't need stance when you got swagger.

    GS 450h does 0-60 in 5.2 seconds and the 1/4 mile in the high 13s..not bad for a 4100lbs hybrid
    Main drawback is the small trunk b/c of the batteries
    Vossen CV3 20x9 & 20x10.5

    Hell yeah, I got to drive one at the "Taste of Lexus" event in Irvine. They're no joke, but yeah, like you said the trunk space is nonexistant. A 350z has more space...

    Lol, well then there's a serious lack of trunk space in all the GS's then. The one GS450h I looked at had a laughably small trunk for a car its size.
