Toyota has a very creative marketing agency.

How sure are you that this is a Lexus developed technology and not something they just bought? Why would lexus take time, R&D dollars, etc for a gizmo technology for an autoshow booth? Its neat but not something an auto manufacturer should tout as 'technology' when their competition is developing real in car technology that makes a difference..first a self parking car, now paper mouse...I really want to like Lexus but its just so pretentious..

It's just RF/scanning technology. It's neat but is sort of pointless.

Rosko is just mad that the Germans didn't think of it first. Imagine, the "Ultimate handling paper mouse".
btw, hybrid is saving the world, one car at a time. Each hybrid on the road reduces oil consumption by nearly 40% because it takes a regular gas car off the road. In the case of replacing a diesel car with a hybrid, it reduces oil consumption by around 60%.
You can't expect someone like Rosko to understand that concept though, he's too busy picking a fight with paper mice.
I guess the X6-hybrid is just another pos Toyota right? That must sting.
