I just hate the exterior designs of Lexus models these days.
IMO, their best exterior design in the past five years is the 2006-current GS.

They should have to pay a fine for every one they sell for littering and defacing the automotive landscape. Can this thing be any more hideous? Come on Toyota. We know you can build a quality product. How about hiring some people who know how to style one too!

JackJim
You’re better than that

I’m not in love with this model, as I feel an IS Hybrid would be better off than a new model
This is the Camry Hybrid powertrain
I, personally, would’ve waited until the next-gen Camry Hybrid powertrain came out, and avoid this downmarket

And Borat, what they mean is its the luxury segments first HYBRID-ONLY MODEL, as in its the only line that is ONLY available with hybrid power. AKA the LS has both gas and hybrid powertrains.

Actually, JJT, a fun to drive premium car is called a GTI/GLI, Cooper S, or an A3 S-Line.
Lexus is garbage.

“The HS 250h represents the luxury segment’s first hybrid-only model ” what was LS460H? With mileage worse then regular LS460.

ford should sue lexus for the grille

i guess lexus / toyota have bought into the ford ads that say something to the effect “…we’re the equal of toyota…”

and are using the ford grill to fool the public into thinking they’re buying a higher quality ford product!

JJT, you seems a bit tense.

Please, LLn, stop calling “L—s” a Luxury division.

A corolla/Prius as a luxury car?

JakeK66 Is there even such a thing as a fun to drive premium FWD car? As much as I like the datsuns of today, the “G20″ was cheap, and the rabadged civic was always a joke.

Focus RS.

RaineMan: I think you’re right.

This thing looks like they haven’t finished with the pre-production type. It was cool as a concept but now we have to be tormented with this as a serious production vehicle? Its gonna be a rough one, I tell you what!! You do much better getting a Civic EX with leather and navi. It looks good, fun to drive, cat-like reflexes and still achieves 32/38. AND its about $10K cheaper? You make the choice.

I’d rather have a Corolla than this. At least I can get the 2.4 with a manual. Not to mention the price difference would cover my fuel for… let’s say the next 10 years?

I bet they will be a popular gift purchase for freshman daughters going off to college.

This thing is a Corolla Hybrid… plain and simple. But I’m sure there are enough idiots out there chomping at the bit for a “Luxury” Prius that they will hit their mark.

The shaver grill is there to remind the hairy-pitted leftie envirowhackoff women and ladyboys who buy this crap to shave their armpits sometimes, as well as their legs and their private parts (at least a good trim).

Lexus, if you are listening – this is your perfect chance to introduce an entry level model. Look, you could fill in where the G20/Integra left off, an affordable, fun to drive premium FWD car. Just dump the hybrid powertrain and that shaver grill. It’s so easy!

By: DenverGuy217

DenverGuy217 — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 16:12:47 +0000

I agree. It looks like sh*t on Fords and the same here. And it just plain stinks when you have one driving behind you and the sun hits it, and your mirrors reflect the blinding flash.
