Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"We need a digital camera that can be switched on and fire off that first shot fast. It's not a commonly tracked statistic on any review site, and nobody seems to have this information for every camera. We were hoping other readers could inform us as to what small digital cameras can fire off their first pics in under a second (ideally under half a second). It needs to be small, but mostly, just really quick in operation. Thanks!"
Well 600 miles were probably anyway for fuel optimal driving with smaller than 100km/h. When you drive faster the range will reduce quite a lot.
My guess is, at a moderate speed of 160km/h the 360 miles (576km) will reduce to something less than 300km which isn't really enough.
(hope comment isn't crippled again)
The "moderate" speed of 160 km/h (100 mph) will get you a ticket very quickly anywhere in the US (except maybe in the middle of nowhere where there are no cops). They're not building a car for Germany with its no speed limit autobahn. The highest speed limit that I've seen in the US was 70mph (112 km/h), with people going around 80 mph there.
I wonder why it has a top speed of 100 to 120 mph then.
@bloody german
thats only for looks, nearly all us cars spedomitors go up to 120 but that does not mean the car can go that fast
Americans wouldn't buy a car that couldn't go 100... That's the truth of it.
Even the trucks and SUVs need to hit the 100 mark.
It has to do with power. The ability to hit the gas and do something at 80mph means something. It means merging without hitting your brakes and causing 40 other people behind you anticipating and hitting their brakes. It means being able to pass people without a 14 mile lead to get up to speed in order to pass. Cars that can JUST do 80mph don't have the high end power to be able to avoid an accident by accelerating. And yes, there are times when it's better to just get on it and get ahead of a bad situation instead of braking and getting behind it.
If you think you are intended to drive at your car's top speed, then you, sir, are an idiot.
@John:
Funny, most people calling other people idiots are ... well lets say simple minded ;)
Admit it, you are just envious that we are allowed to go top speed with our cars in Germany. Well, depends on your car and the top speed it can go ;)
"hey're not building a car for Germany with its no speed limit autobahn."
Umm, actually they are - the GM developed drivetrain will be used by Opel to produce a PHEV for Europe

@VB
The highest speed limit in the US right now is 80mph on I-10 in west Texas, and the avg in the west part of the US is around 75mph.
