    2020-2021 seems to be the collective target date for a lot of automotive "future tech," including self-driving vehicles & electric vehicles

    Dear Toyota/Lexus,
    Remember - keep your statements, your PR, your words - soft & sweet.
    That way, it's much easier on you, when you have to EAT them.
    Would you like someone to pass you a little seasoning? Might just make 'em taste better before swallowing.
    :rolleyes:

    Well 2020 is the Tokyo Olympics. You can bet Toyota wants to showcase something. Previous target was an H2 powered LS. Will we see an LS EV instead?

    Toyota just started a new EV division headed by the president himself. The timeline is similar to that of the Prius (1995 Tokyo Motor Show to Dec 1997 reveal). Well actually they have an extra year compared to the G21 engineers.
