Default Re: Toyota unveils hybrid version of flagship Crown
Wasn't there already a hybrid Crown a few years ago in Japan? If memory serves, it used the mild-hybrid THS/M architecture instead of HSD. THS/M was never sold in the States, but it greatly resembles BAS in that it is a 36v start/stop system.
