What’s Wrong With This Picture: Rebadging The Rebadge Edition

1, Oct 2009

We thought the Lexus HS250h would be a cynical rebadge of the Prius with a little more power. We were wrong. The HS was marginally unique enough, but then ToMoCo went and cynically reabdged it as a Toyota and called it the Sai. Sigh. It hasn’t been confirmed for the US yet, but if it

Dependability, performance, even a little luxury, but maybe they weren’t quite as rugged as I would have liked. That’s why Ford offers Super Duty F Series options, for those who really need to beat up their trucks. The redesigned 2011 Super Duty will over 2 different engine configurations. The gasoline V8 will be a whopping 6.2 liters, while the diesel version will be a 6.7 turbo charged v8. Either one sounds like they won’t have any trouble pulling whatever you might be able to hook up to. Also, thanks to Ford’s relentless pursuit of efficiency, just because you need a big dog doesn’t mean it will eat like one.

Like the surprisingly respectful staff at
