    Geez, I actually prefer the styling of the Highlander hybrid over the 400H.

    Any divergent opinions?

    I like them both, in different ways. I think the bigger difference will be the interiors where the LX400h will really shine as a true luxury car. I also noticed immediately the similarity in styling of the 400h to the Prius... that rear end could be a Prius. I'd noticed the LX330s around town and noted that they had a great aerodynamic design that would be an easy transition to a low Cd hybrid, but didn't realize they'd streamline the rear end that much too.

    Can't wait to see the actual EPA numbers (and prices) on both of these. I've been tempted to tell my Prius dealer to put me down for the first Highlander Hybrid to hit the lot to get for my wife, but I think we'll need to wait until 2006 for her new car.
    :(

    The most beautiful thing on the back of ALL of these wonderful vehicles, is that little blue symbol that reads 'Hybrid Synergy Drive'! :D :D :D
