They have the best assortment of superior microfiber towels anywhere. Their latest Speed Shine blue microfiber towels may very well be the softest towels on the planet. Their cleaning and detail products are awesome. The slight advantage I would give Zaino is with their paint protection products. They go on and off so easily and last longer than anything else out there. But, you would not go wrong with Griot's Garage products at all. Some of them are a "must have". TM |

Replying to: tagman (Jan 12, 2009 10:46 am) 2010 Toyota Prius. I already called a Toyota dealership and I will soon be putting in my deposit. Hopefully I will get my car by late spring. High Technology at not such a hefty price. Looking forward to it. The sunroof sounds like an interesting option assuming it does not cost thousands of dollars. link title

Replying to: cyclone4 (Jan 11, 2009 3:34 pm) Based on the specs and options of the Prius it sounds just as "high tech" as a Lexus HS. If I am not mistaken an HS will just have better leather, better "fit and finish", a bigger engine that is not as fuel efficient and better services at a Lexus dealership. But in terms of "High Tech" I just dont see it? Let me give you examples of what I mean: Mark Templin, the general manager of Lexus, insists that his vehicle is not simply tarted up Prius. “If all you care about is m.p.g., go buy a Prius,” What Lexus customers want in their hybrid is the “Lexus experience,” said James Lentz, the president of Toyota Motor Sales U.S.A. He and Mr. Templin defined that as a quiet car, filled with the latest technology and creature comforts like heated seats. The company will also offer owners free loaner cars, a free car wash and other extras at Lexus dealerships. My question above is what does he mean by "technology". Most the latest technologies of the HS is also availabe in the Prius. In fact the Prius has a solar powered sunroof which as far as I know is not available in the Lexus HS. No heated seats in a Prius but in the Lexus HS? Thank God. I hate heated seats even during winters. Bun roasting is fine in bakeries but not in my car. I have never ever heated my seat in my BMW and I never ever will. Templin said it will get better miles per gallon in city driving than the Smart car, which is a fraction of the size of the HS. That’s in the neighborhood of 33 m.p.g. Its price probably also will be in the $30,000-plus range, although Toyota isn’t saying yet what it will cost. Did he say a bit over 33 MPG  My very roomy and very big 26 year old MB 300D is not far off from that figure. Is this the best way they employ technology especially when fuel efficiency is it's prime objective. At least the Prius is focused on what it does best: Fuel Efficiency. link title |
