    Not quite, my schedule didn't even allow me to be in LA for the local reveal there tomorrow night, but I will be doing the press drive the 2nd week of December. I believe driving impressions will be embargoed until December 16.

    I've received a few questions about the timing of the reveal. According to what I've heard out of Japan, the Tokyo reveal is TONIGHT at 11:30 Eastern / 8:30 PM Pacific. There is a US press event tomorrow evening in LA and all of the photos/info I have is embargoed until 11/16 at 9:30 PM Eastern / 6:30 PM Pacific.

    So we may have JDM specs before the US ones this time around.

    If they have the ‘skinned’ version, I like photos of the drivetrain, exhaust, battery, and power wiring. You know, everything under the sheet metal. <grins>

    Are you keeping the battery SOC the same?

    Yes, of course. However, I can only get 115+ actual mpg (120+ mpg on the multifunction display (MFD)) in freeway stop-and-go traffic. Otherwise, the highest I can get in hot, dry weather is around 80 mpg if I drive around 55 mph.
