Toyota Highlander Hybrid Real-World MPGs

EPA rates the Highlander Hybrid at a somewhat unusual trifecta: 28 MPG city, 28 MPG highway, 28 MPG combined. That’s pretty good for a midsize crossover that will seat seven people– two of them hopefully “little persons” in order to fit comfortably in the way-back– but lags behind some competitors in its size class with traditional powertrains.
The Highlander’s ability to schlep seven might make the difference for shoppers, but those practicality-minded shoppers are also likely to be concerned on matters of cost. Getting into the 280-horsepower Highlander Hybrid will cost you at least $40,000 if you plan to buy outright. Since I used the Equinox as an example earlier, it bears mentioning here that the fully-loaded Equinox LTZ with the General’s 3.6-liter, 301-horsepower V6 clocked a $37,000 MSRP.

McQueen’s 1963 Classic Ferrari's...250GT like money in the bank

McQueen’s 1963 Classic Ferrari's...250GT like money in the bank

Not unlike Steve McQueen’s 1963 Ferrari 250GT, James Coburn’s 1961 Ferrari 250GT California Spyder recently established a new auction record for a vintage car when it sold for $10,894,900. McQueen’s Ferrari sold last August, garnering twice as much as was predicted, selling for $2.3 million.

As it turns out, McQueen may have had some influence on Coburn's taste in fast cars. McQueen not only owned that Ferrari 250GT Lusso, but he also had a 1953 Siata 208S, a 1958 Porsche Speedster 1600 Super, a 1957 Jaguar XK-SS and a Ferrari 275 GTS/4 NART Spyder. Between 1959 and 1960, Coburn co-starred with McQueen in three episodes of "Wanted Dead or Alive". They would go on to be friends for life, starring together in "The Magnificent Seven" in 1960 and "The Great Escape" in 1963.
