Our guest Saturday will be Doug Coleman, Toyota's US marketing manager for the Prius gas/electric hybrid. We'll talk about a new certified used hybrid program the company has just announced, and how Toyota plans to do battle with the new Honda Insight hybrid, which Honda said this week will be priced below $19,000, much less than a new Prius. Toyota just sold their millionth hybrid worldwide, but does any car company make any profit on any hybrid? What's the break-even point?
(Is this the next-generation Toyota Prius --- appearing here as a plug-in hybrid? Tune-in to The Car Nut Show Saturday at 5pm Pacific when we talk with the Prius' national marketing manager and find out along with us)

(This is what's left of a Ferrari after what Newport Beach, CA police say was an illegal street race between this car and a Porsche earlier this week; the Ferrari's driver was killed. The Porsche's driver was being held on $2 million bail for DUI, illegal street racing and manslaughter because of the death of the other driver; a female in the Ferrari suffered broken bones and will recover and a woman passenger in the Porsche was held for public intoxication but later released)

Street racing is a bigger problem than ever worldwide, with a founder of Mixed Martial Arts killed just this past week during what police are saying was a an illegal street race between his Ferrari and a Porsche in Newport Beach, CA. Big Willie Robinson has the proven answer to the street racing problem --- if only politicians will listen.

Hope to "see" you there!
