    Hi 360,

    Go ahead and send your email address to [email protected] . I haven't had anyone try to run it off an SD card so, your testing will be new ground. You will have a 15 day trial with nag screens or you go right away to the Register screen where you will get a number that you will need to email me so I can send you the unlock code.

    Best Regards,

    btw, C. hirose from PriusOnline said he went to a RAV4 dealer training session or something like that - basically to get familiar with the features of the new RAV4. He said he was told the Camry HSD is expected to get 650 miles on a tank and may get the same size tank as standard Camrys.

    So that divided by the tank size gives 35mpg or 6.73L/100km

    The problem with the current HH is that it doesnt fit Toyota-wallets. It does go nicely with Lexus-wallets. The Lexus driver , even at $50K+, is more likely to want the added performance and be willing and able to pay for it. A Toyota shopper/buyer is still more interested in value and reliability. The V6 HSD combo
    is a loser for Toyota just as the HAH is currently a loser for Honda.

    Now link the HSD with Toyota's mainstream I4 and now you have a V6 with phenomenal value in both the Camry and Highlander and why not the RAV.

    I could envision the SUV lineup soon to look like
    ICE 4 RAV
    HSD 4 RAV
    V6 RAV
    HSD 4 Highlander ( I think this may come first )
    V6 Highlander
    V6 HSD Lexus

    Hi Tideland,

    This is a completely redesigned, longer, lower & new Camry layout. My research indicates a 15.8 Gallon tank in the Hybrid & that would put it at 41.14 MPG & still give it 650 miles per tank. I guess we'll just have to wait & see. I am holding on to my figures for now.

    Best Regards,

    Trade off between battery weight/space and gasoline weight/space?

    probably. I was thinking maybe something required for space hence the reduction of the tank.
