Re: No sloth! What a GREAT car!
Thanks for the advice on pushing the TCH too early. I have had no problem getting 250,000 miles out of an engine. I approached the TCH with some skepticism as I have driven too many underpowered hybrids. The nice thing about the hybrid is that at the low (RPM) end, it's pretty much all about the electric motor (internal combustion engines have such poor low-end torque). I had to do this zero to 65MPH test before I took ownership. Had I been allowed to test drive another TCH on the lot, I would not have done this to mine, however, the local dealer has only received four of these all year, I consider myself as lucky to have it.
I have noticed (having had the car for only four days), that it sells itself. Two buddies at work want on that waiting list!
BTW, I got really ticked when Toyota started advertising the TCH a month ago on national TV, and yet my dealer wasn't getting any... All is forgiven now, I got mine!
