Not what you're asking but there are 3 standards available for sticker now on here ... I was told tips weren't available as "launch" cars?

Hi Watt, all the hubub surrounds the tippy because they finally figured out how to make it FAST. However, the driving you do is in the hills and on the track where it is important to know what gear you are in to be in complete control. Who knows how good the tranny really is at holding the gear you choose and not upshifting or downshifting before you choose?
I recommend the 6 speed for you.
Now, when the DSG tranny comes out.... that's the one to have!

23 mpg for Hybrid is a joke to begin with. as far as M5 goes, it's fast enough without the cigar trick to the brain cell. be careful with the Lexus in the canyon though. it's so smooth u won't even feel it fly off the cliff.

i'm doing better these days. city/hwy avg 10.3 mpg. just think whatever i get next will do better than that. life is beautiful!

Watt, I hope you mean Hermosa but I fear you mean Huntington. That's hell on 405.
Arling, that kind of mileage is so un-pc. Time for a used Prius w/a Gore '08 sticker.
