Lexus RX400h due as a 2005 model. according to Lexus, the car will have more horsepower than the RX330, and it will have a gasoline engine and two electric motors. If I remember correctly, the car will be a mostly FWD car, and the electric motors somehow create the AWD. Don't know much more.

I think you'll find this on every modern car. It is a safety feature. There is a constant flow of outside air into the passenger compartment to prevent a build-up of CO should there be a leak into the car.

AFAIK GM only owns 20% of Subaru, not 40%
