Yesterday at rims dealer we experienced technical difficulties with our phone system. All calls were inadvertently routed to our customer service voice mail instead of our sales queue. The management at rims dealer would like to apologize for any inconvenience brought upon our customers as a result. The problem has since been resolved and orders can now be placed as usual. Again, the management at rims dealer would like to apologize to our customers and remind them that our goal is to provide a satisfactory purchase experience. Thank You.

The $350,000 2012 Lexus LFA
Ever wanted to drive a Lexus that could battle it out with a Ferrari? If the world is still around in 2012, you just might get your chance! This bad boy is powered by a juicy 4.8-liter V-10 that the engineers at Yamaha helped develop. The compact V-10 makes 553 horsepower @ 8700 rpm and red-lines @ 9000 rpm. (VROOOMM!!!) Max torque for this Jap-fighter dials in at 354 lbs. @ 6800 rpm. According to Lexus this rear-mounted, six-speed, automated manual transmission super-car weighs approximately 3,263 pounds. (Not to Shabby!) So keep your eyes peeled!!!
Honda CR-Z Concept
(Here is a follow up to our last blog: 2009 Tokyo Auto Show) One car that debuted at the show was the Honda CR-Z. This two seat sports-hybrid delivers 140 horsepower via a 1.8-liter Civic based engine. The IMA system used (motor, battery, electronics) will be similar to the Insight's, in order to cut back on costs. This little high revving hybrid weighs in at a modest 2800 lbs. and squeezes out a decent 29 “combined” mpg's. In addition, a manual gearbox will be offered! (Woo-Hoo!)
