Two years on, how does Toyota's hybrid SUV hold up in top-level Platinum trim?

I liked them both for their quality, impressive interiors, and the Hybrid's outrageous real-world fuel economy. But in the meantime, I've had chances to drive some of its rivals. Now, coming back to the Highlander Hybrid, how does it hold up two years into its model run?

Letter: 56-acre project recreation area - planning or abuse?
Submitted by paula on Thu, 02/03/2022 - 6:01am
I have always been very interested in the 56-acre project and saw the latest post about the land swap, etc. I want to STRONGLY object to any idea of putting City and/or County facilities in the 56-acre project area. To do so, would severely compromise the nature of the project for recreation and senior services. Parking would be problematic in this area — the ONE area that the people of South Lake Tahoe have dedicated to their enjoyment and functions. The fact that using the new facility to rent out for events, will already take lots of additional parking.
