And an equally misleading article about stuff that has been around on various cars for years. Click (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/30769280/)

No kidding. I thought about posting this as well. Every time I see that commercial it makes me mad. They brag about how green it is. Big freaking whoopie. I had that crap on my car since back in 03'. Get over it Toyota.

Haha,
I noticed that as well.
Our solar roofs work quite well and I am very happy to have it. That and the shades to go along with the extra rad coolers in the ICs are a must have.
I do not have the "warm weather package" option ...
how much do you think it will cost me if i ordered it from an audi dealership, did anybody around here had added this option after so many years without one ? just curious

Ha...gave my GF the full explanation of that just last night after seeing the commercial like it was something new. Her eyes glazed over after three seconds as I explained it but oh well...made me feel better to pick on Toyota to someone.
Those commercials and their imagery are precisely why i will never buy a mass consumer car like that...the message...follow the rest of the orchestrated brainwashed hypnotized people dressed like sheep you non individual follower of green flowing earth...
The one where twenty of the same car pile into the beach parking lot gets me too...yes i really want to be just like everyone else. Grrrr.

I would never have seen this ad (I mute or FF all commercials, especially car commercials) if my 17 year old hadn't called me into the room and replayed it for me, with his "Dad, can you believe this BS?" commentary to go along with it! Good to see I've raised him well. LOL

Good thing for Tevo or Direct TV thingy just like it.
My wife hates it when I pause the first 10 minutes of every program we watch. Just so I can FF all the commercials.
Hahah

If all of America started to drive Hybrids tomorrow. The "global warming" effect would slow down .000001% and we would all drown exactly 50 years later. I say burn the Hybrids and make people live no more than 3 miles from work. We could care less if gas were 3 dollars or 30 dollars a gallon. Less then 2 miles to work.
Thus, there sits a E55 and RS6 out in the garage. If you got to drive something it better return the flavor of the day. Ahhhhh, kiss my arse Hybrid people. Dont jamb it down my throat.

Finding a different RS6 with the option is your only option. I love how mine works here in TX.

I totally agree.
I get 25-26mpg cruising on the highway, which is insanely great for a 500hp sports car.
Now, please never mention the Prius and RS6 in the same breath ever again.

That's funny, as it took me a few minutes just to figure out how to word this thread title so that it wouldn't get totally ignored (also making sure I didn't use both names together) :rs6kiss: :harass: http://smilies.vidahost.com/otn/happy/auto.gif
