The technology is still in its infancy, so we can expect a weight reduction in future hybrids.

I wonder why Lexus doesn't work on diesel hybrids. The Lexus GS could easily have beaten the E420 CDI's fuel economy if it were a diesel hybrid - if Lexus manages to fix the suspension and trunk.

A lot of European reviews have mentioned that the GS has a very hard suspension while US reviews seem to praise the comfort. I suppose they added a sturdier suspension for the European market but forgot the fine-tuning. Have you driven the new GS, Bruce?
