Mar 29th 2008 1:03PM Vintage - your point is moot. If you "really" wanted to be green, then buy bike and ride in public transporation.

Someone buying LS600h is not considering Yaris. They are looking at V8 or V12 engined vehicle. Same goes for Camry or RX.
p.s. 600,000 miles? where did you get that info?

I mean V6 was an big thing for them few years ago.
