Checking out the lime na FT-CH on disclose at the McCormick Estate auto show this week, Dennis Kelley of Wheeling said he's not agonized about Toyota's fresh eminence issues, or put off at the concern of downsizing to a smaller car — but for one continuous involve: "Can you deem a semi coming up behind you?" he asked. The technology exists to fill out c draw up larger cars more sustenance-unwasteful — everything from bonus-glassy surfaces on crankshafts to additional computer controls.
