Brandy Wine Mica is an awesome color that pictures don't do justice. We've had it just four days now.
2008 RX350 - Port Orford, Oregon Coast
Longer hood....2"...?
Longitudnally mounted engine, say from the IS250 (DFI, 12:1 compression ratio) and/or IS350 (DFI, 11.8 Compression ratio) and maybe, FINALLY, a rear based, biased, AWD...??
More sensible Atkinson Cycle 2.5L V6 for the hybrid...??
Or maybe rear biased AWD via a solid coupling(***) to the rear and VC for the from and DFI adopted for the sideways engines.
(***) Even on the current model the center diff'l spider gears can be removed and the rear drive side gear welded to the carrier housing for an easy conversion to RWD with the VC for front drive. Then the 1-2 second delay hesitation idiory could be eliminated since the engine compression braking would occur primarily at the rear.
I'll take mine in Brandywine....
One can dream......
