    They look like Police vehicles with no modifications yet, forward thinking;)

    Camry hybrid with the same drivetrain improved from 39 MPG to 46 MPG (40 to 52 MPG LE version).

    Old RAV4 Hybrid is rated at 32 MPG so the new one should get to around 37 MPG or maybe up to 40 MPG.

    Looks like they did a nice job. Was hoping for FWD Hybrid variant but doesn't look like it will be the case. Crossing my fingers for a 2019/2020 Prius V/Alpha here in the states.

    Where I work. the police staff seem to have standardized on the Ford Explorer SUV. For a while before that, they had Dodge Chargers.

    I see the photos fine. Do they load properly now? (I find sometimes it takes a minute or so for the photos to properly load).

    It's probably just a tapatalk thing. I'll use a browser & presume it's okay on those screens.

    I have been seeing them. I think @hill has Model X on the brain. Perhaps he wants a red one too. :D

    It's the better ½'s ride. I tried to get her to go for
    BIG PRI but it was a no go

    Canadian press release added to the OP. We call it the "Trail" grade instead of "Adventure" grade but otherwise it seems pretty similar.

    Heck - if you like creative, consider the front plate. Not wanting to drill through the front of the car i searched for & found legal sized/fade resistant/400° laser proof/vinyl-label material- which means i can "create" a realistic enough looking stick on, so as to not get pulled over for not drilling in the real front plate.

    Maybe I should start a business

    Rear sticker/tags in Cali are the only ones, & many other states, too. Some states don't even have front plates.

    I think there are only two states without front plates, and Pennsylvania is one of them. Last year, we stopped getting plate stickers as police can check plate numbers against the DMV database from their car to know if registration is up to date.
