well im thinking 6 yrs.... just about 2003 now, 2010 model yr is about 6 yrs away?

2010 - 2003 = 7-years. I don't think we'll be seeing many hybrids for the Lexus division, but the RX330, being Camry based, may be a candidate.

whatever..... do you not understand that cars dont always come the same yr of the model yr? A 2010 car can arrive and do arrive starting in the fall os 2009 and vice versa, so its about 6-7 yrs. Makes no difference anyway, i dunno why you have to argue it... not even relevant, makes no difference.

Actually another website posted another article that said the first one was false. The guy who interviewed the Toyota rep took the words out of context. I'm not sure if Toyota issued a press release, but its not true. Maybe its an internal goal or something, but its very unlikely.

Vehicles typically debut in the fall. MY2010 is fall 2009. That'd be 7 years. If it was spring 2003 you could say 6-7 years, but it's Fall 2002. 2009-2002=7. Just trying to make up what our education system missed

If Acura's going to be coming out with a Hybrid AWD vehicle (which we pretty much know is true, just we don't know what form) then I think Toyota is gonna want Lexus to have one.

If it makes no difference, why do you keep saying it's 6 and not 7?
