Not to mention, the luxury brands are hurting in Europe and trying to sell as many cars in North America as they can, in addition to trying to capture the sales crown. Good time to buy, even more so next month I bet.

I read in AN (IIRC) that up to 20% of their new car sales are program cars not sold at retail, but at substantial discounts.
 
There may not be profits for the next couple of years or so...

I have a really hard time to take this lightly and laugh on this. As well as looking at Toyota itself equipping its cars with almost full-blown Internet access. If there is any "overreaching" or "overbearing" government left at all, whatever, it must absolutely criminalize such exercises, at least until self-driving cars are mandated. Are we going to produce also RPGs and AK-47s featuring an iPad slot, and to put them in the hands of anyone?

RPGs? That was a good one. Add also the night vision.

RC350 should be the I coupe, basically.
 
They also registered NX200t and NX300h, probably a small egg-shaped crossover built for the express purpose of annoying fintail.
