Chris_B Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 Hi Chris. You can redeem yourself by buying a new Lexus. :roflmao:But what chance do you have to save your immortal (and slightly odd) soul? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_B Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 Audi have cancelled all their hybrid stuff and have said they'll instead concentrate on reducing weight. I stil say the simplest solution to this carbon thingies issue is just to knuckle down and develop biofuel production from waste bio-products (not bloody food-grade corn, America - you listening?). There's been some interesting research into using woodchips as a feedstock, and developing enzymes that can break the long cellulose (sp?) chains down into sugars that can be fast-fermented into what is essentially alcohol easily. That way, existing cars don't need CO2 expending on scrapping and recycling them, existing petrol stations don't need CO2 expending on 'upgrading' them to support hydrogen, and we don't need all the energy required to split hydrogen from water, cool it, comress it, store it, transport it and deliver it to a car-shaped mobile potential bomb. Nor would anyone have to worry about 'silent' hybrids running deaf people over. Imagine a world where you could have 6 ltre V12 engines in your car if you liked, safe in the knowledge that all the fuel you burn has a nett zero CO2 output because plant material wil be grown to replace it? Seems like a plan to me. Sod buggering about with hydrogen and polluting, poisonous metals for batteries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mollox Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 Mollox my dear chap that would be a bloody stupid idea, wouldn't it. Now let's get one thing straight, the ideal behind the Lexus 48 hour test drive campaign is to give genuine potential buyers the chance to drive engineering excellence. It is not intended for bored Audi drivers to fan the flames of anger amongst hard working Forgive me for interjecting but I need to state the obvious - from what we've seen, you're either online or on holiday! and professional how can I put this? errr.....:roflmao::roflmao: Lexus salesmen who have spent years perfecting the art of Kaizan.

Look what might happen to some more Audi's as a revenge attack!!! I'm quite happy to take it to the next level, LOL Oh I'm forever blowing bubbles..... .....pretty bubbles in the air.

Nelson_R32 Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 I'm suprised you didn't use Samaurai Swords LEXUS-MAINDEALER? I'm getting really confused now; I'm trying to get my head around whether this person actually believes in his own self-worth as a glorified Toyota brand employee, or whether it's a regular taking the piss. Do Lexus really train their staff to be as loyal as Kamakhazi Pilots? I thought I was bad but this person seems to have a unblinding, unquestionable faith in the Lexus Brand.

This is a Lexus Car Salesmen we're talking about. Given the fact Lexus can't even sell cars in the best of times he's probably holidaying at the Premier Travel-Inn off Junction 31 of the M1 in Worksop...

Phantom Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 All this hybrid energy drive talk reminded me, which car won the economy test around the Top Gear track recently ?, was it the Toyota Prius or the new BMW M3? Toyota have even delayed building their new Prius plant in the U.S, obviously no confidence in their technology to warrant building a new factory there then.

Rustynuts Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 100, 000 miles? Is that all?What happens when the batteries die? The car will be on the 2nd or 3rd owner by then. I am sure they won't want to have to replace them. Can it run on just the engine with dead batteries? You see, Audi have cancelled all their hybrid stuff and have said they'll instead concentrate on reducing weight. Besides, a decent diesel engine will bet more combined mpg than petrol and battery. Why didn't/don't Lexus combine a decent V diesel with the hybrid and reduce their emissions and tax bracket a bit more? Because Toyota are crap at making a decent economical diesel engine, that's why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
