yeah i was thinking it was as its a hybrid...... which was supposed to be the supra, the guy i was talking to there in the Toyota boutique as they called it (wtf) was saying this is going on sale in the US next year at a starting price equivalent to 50000 euro. I'll put up pics of all the boutiques i was including Citroen, Peugeot and Renault later. Can't remember if i took pics of the Mercedes place as it was just normal cars they had on display.
