Of course every individual will treat their car differently.

It's stuff like this that gets me thinking. It's listed as a 6 speed but I'm pretty sure it's a 5. Crazy low miles, so it could be a steal.

This is what they were collecting $25,000 deposit for back in 2022 based on a render and video where a drone came out of it to video you while you drove… no price and delivery in 2026. Hard pass.

Somehow, the "Eco" light comes on while doing 95-100mph in a 4Runner on open the open highway with a bike on the back, like I'm doing the environment and whales a favor

You went 100mph in a 4runner without a hyperdrive?

If the ECO light is based on a wide-band O2 sensor, is it possible that you are working the motor so hard that the injectors can’t keep up and the motor is starting to run lean?

Regardless, probably neither environmentally friendly nor good for the motor really…

That's pretty much impossible on any stock engine. A turbo engine with a tune, sure, injectors may not be able to provide enough ccs of flow and may be leaning out during throttle efforts, rather than dumping excess fuel for cooling like stock does.

Genesii? have always looked like they took parts from other cars and mashed them together. an audi grill here, a mercedes taillight there, etc. etc. Their new stuff is quite good, IMO.
