So 2400 in 3rd gear = 46 km/h? Makes sense.

I would expect a current gear indicator in the auto version but this is clearly the 6-speed. if so, cool.
Indeed, that would be a nice touch. Even though once you get to know the car, you feel what gear you are in so you won't mis-shift, but a nice touch nonetheless.
The joke I was making though was that at 2400rpm, and especially in 3rd gear, you have little to no power. It looks more like a lazy Sunday drive than a proper test drive.

I hope that Toyota will have proper test drive events for this car. After all, how well can you get to know the car with a sales person sitting right next to you.
