... and it was fairly advanced...well, considering the year was1899. Some may also call it the first 'loaner' ;-) A bit of history:

His legacy is muddied by the latest attempt from the company at a hybrid which is really some kind of cruelty joke to 'treehuggers' -- since almost any 20 year old Toyota gets better mileage (mainly because they are over a ton lighter). http://www.hybridcars.com/suvs-minivans/porsche-cayenne-hybrid.html BTW Porsche could remove that excess ton of steel by going to graphite composite body panels and frame - and for the price you are paying - they should have!
