    So it'll be the 1.8 litre then? Interesting... The 2ZR that we have here is pretty darn good. We only got dual VVT-i. I'm guessing valvematic won't be there either? I think only the AR engines have valvematic? (At least the 2.0 litre one).

    Never mind.. I just confused myself.

    All's clear now!

    hmmmm..... I wonder how much they'll improve the mpg in total. Just a few mpg here and there can add up.

    Pprius? 15% more mpg and 20%-30% more performance sounds good to me...

    I mean 50 mpg average is already really good... so lets work on other things that need to be worked on as well...

    Are you talking about the new hyhi and lexus rxh? Because when we got our 400h in 2006, the stats showed the 400h as being bigger than the highlander (interior room / cargo wise)
