[BykaheZypomec]

I saw a hot crew just like this at tiny[dot]cc/mygfsucksyou

[MrCarowner]

Thieves can easily break into Lexus ! ! !.

Check it out at YouTube "5 seconds break into 2009 Lexus ES350 part 1 " .

&

YouTube "5 seconds break into 2009 Lexus ES350 part 2 "

You will be SURPRISED!!

Like what you saw, Lexus " ALARM" was so

stupid when the thief broke into.......

What a Lexus!!

What a piece of JUNK! Hahaha ! ! !

[JRG921]

if I wanted to save money on gas I would buy a Prius. Not a $35,000 underpowered Lexus..

[JRG921]

looks like a Toyota Corolla

[bliglum]

slot above the IS!?!? and below ES? I would rather have an IS over this. by far! IS better than ES too.

[hyylo]

i want a 100% electric car.

i dont want to support these oil companies that make billions of $.

Tesla is the only company that makes 100% electric cars. GO Tesla!!

[JUKIO01]

tesla sucks, to expensive and not a realiable company like toyota. wait till toyota comes out with a all electric vehicle.

[hyylo]

tesla sucks because its expensive???

get a good education and a good job then!!!

do you actually believe toyota will make a 100% electric car??

the big car companies will not make 100% electric cars because they do not wear down as quickly as oil based cars. this is fact.

Search youtube for who killed the electric car

[JUKIO01]

ya but still, its not worth getting the tesla. wayy to expensive, unless your rich, are you rich? anways it would take years!!! YEARS! to get your moneys worth.

plus, you can only go so far with an electric, takes to long to charge, and could break down just as easily, cost alot to fix it. not worth it.

[hyylo]

is $30,000 expensive for a new car based on electric????

check out the TESLA S

its a family car and it rocks!!!

[JUKIO01]

are you talking about the 2 seater? how is that a family car?

[JUKIO01]

and i did watch that documentary, and i say so what! have fun traveling no more than 100 miles or less, going about 60 mph, and waiting 6 hours to charge up.

[hyylo]

read the article by tesla. search google. they have stated that the batteries are reusable and can give a full charge within 1 hour.

Mobile phone batteries last for years now because they are based on lithium. Tesla uses the same approach.

Search youtube for TESLA S

Its their new 100% electric car. It looks better than a BMW, LEXUS and Merc

[JUKIO01]

its not 30,000 its 50,000! liar

[aguzmanNY]

The money you spend on gas = more money going outside the US to the Saudis and other f'kd up countries with no moral values, so put it this way, hummer= Anti-American, tesla/toyota hybrids = Patriotic, surprised how many people feel Patriotic driving their gas guzzling SUVs around with all that extra gas money going outside the US. It's not about the cost of the vehicle is about changing who benefits from them once people buy them. - wake up people

[TheZachalope]

How is buying a Toyota hybrid patriotic? Buying a car engineered and built in Japan, where the profits go to Japan.

I'll go with the Escape Hybrid which is engineered and built in the US and the dollars stay in the country.

[setiawanhenry]

It looks like corolla because the dna is of Toyota. It looks nice and great though. It worth another 15K on top of corolla. I am going to add this to my wish list :)

[spencer5231]

WTF, it look like a Corolla.

[wsaaabi]

They should have just called it the Corolla Hybrid.

[mircogenin]

It looks like a lot like Toyota Prius first gen. Damn Lexus Is looks a lot better.

[wetcloud]

Why all hybrids are ugly?

[JUKIO01]

i wouldnt really say that. i think what the designers wanted to do is make hybrids distinguishable, with their own unique look.

[LawBoy25]

If the Corolla and Lexus IS mated this is what their child would look like!

[alexkvaskov]

I actually like how it looks

[metaleggman18]

Jeez, it looks like a prius...and that grill is just like the unfortunate looking set of Acuras in recent years.

[fabinharaujo]

wheres the car

all i see r giant impact bumpers

[mauri123g]

looks like an ugly ass Corola

[SupraFtw98]

yup

[teamwhitebread2]

rofl i was about to comment the same thing.

[adamY2K]

THEY SHOULD HAVE MADE A IS HYBRID INSTEAD.

THE DESIGN IS RUBBISH. ALTHOUGH QUALITY IS GOOD.

I LUUV THE IS's LOOKS.

[tnguyen318]

The IS at around 30 grand should be the lowest. LS got really up there, but for the electronics, technology, performance, and the luxury it provides, it should be. I like to pay the lowest buck to get the biggest bang. And yea, I guess class should be a thing of the past. You pay for what you get, that is fair. ABCDEFGHIJKLNOPQRSTUVWxYZ class. No more, "We only sell to this income."

[dszadsza]

Corolla

[tnguyen318]

Lexus should only produce engines 6 cylinders and up, and make this HS 250H a Toyota brand. Lexus is a luxury brand, and luxury brands should be performance oriented, advanced in technology, and quality oriented throughout. Yes it appears that Lexus as well as many other auto makers have taken an environmental approach to making cars, and it is great! Bodies are lighter and softer but less wasteful. Also there will be less power of impact in an accident.

[randomherov2]

If Lexus is to be a global brand, it needs a couple smaller vehicles for urban markets. Just take a look at the BMW 1-series or the MB A, B and C classes. That's the general direction Lexus is heading with this HS and the sportier IS sedan.

My concern is whether or not this vehicle features Lexus-level interior design and execution.

[tnguyen318]

Well, I do not know Lexus intentions. But I guess name, keeping the luxury brand name, is not as important as sales or global marketing. Either way. As long as the car looks good enough, big enough or expensive enough, a person driving their luxury car wouldn't be dissapointed in the brand. I myself thought of the previous generation IS as Honda Civic looking like and not appealing. What has Lexus become? But I didnt mind. This 250H should have Lexus detail and thats great. Go Lexus!

[tnguyen318]

About your comment over 2 years ago. The BMW 1 series is the best entry level luxury car in the market.  Its time to see luxury companies build cars for people instead of for name. Mercedes and Lexus are also heading to that approach. As a matter of fact, their interior designs even look better.

[capinnii]

Es un auto muy bonito con mucha elegancia y diseño

[djdrled]

Nein dieser Lexus ist nicht schön!!!

Da fahre ich lieber meinen IS 300 weiter, den der ist 1000 mal schöner!!

[adamY2K]

LEXUS CARS ARE BEAUTIFUL IN TERMS OF DESIGN. BUT NOT THIS. IT LOOKS LIKE A COROLLA FROM THE FRONT AND AN AVENSIS FROM THE BACK. I DONT KNOW WHAT THEY HAVE DONE WITH THE BACK, and the INTERIOR HAS TO BE WORST. QUALITY LOOKS EXCELLENT BUT DESIGN IS RUBIBSH.

this car has dented Lexus's reputation.

MAYbe the LFA will put it back on top

[adamY2K]

I personally think That this LEXUS WILL NOT SUCCEED.

I LOVE LEXUS MORE THAN ANY OTHER BRAND. I THINK THEY HAVE SPOT ON DESIGN, NOT FLASH BUT NOT UGLY. THE BEST RELIABILITY AND QUALITY OF ANY LUXURY CAR MAKER (thats a fact by the way).

BUT THIS NEW HS IS NOT VERY GOOD LOOKING, HAS A RUBBISH INTERIOR DESIGN AND DOES NOT PROVE ANYTHING. IF THEY WANTED THEY SHOULD HAVE MADE A HYBRID IS.

IT WOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH BETTER.

[Nadaaf]

...lexus will never ever match merc, bmw n audi... thats why lexus has failed in europe...

[Gradow8]

i like it!

[whiteliketar]

Oh no - I AM A LEXUS FANATIC BUT THIS DOES LOOK LIKE a flippin corolla. No Lexus Noooooooooooo

[ib2244]

it looks like Corolla

[NitekMuscle]

The problem I have with this vehicle is that Toyota simply shoehorned the Lexus L-Finese design language onto the short Prius platform. It's time for Lexus to recieve platforms that aren't shared with existing Toyota vehicles.

[eemiri]

this is fucking ugly

[vkeightyfive]

I think the word you're looking for is "fugly." I don't really understand why the car sits so high. I mean yes, yes we get it, it's a hybrid so it's not going to be performance oriented. But does it have to look so slow?

[elesfinter]

Ugly

[iCheckVtec]

why is it one person doesnt like and more people just say they dont?jeez man those taillights are beautiful, the headlights are pretty damn good, and u morons, its shaped weird cuz ITS A FREAKING HYBRID!!...damn..

[LTF85199]

Ugly Ugly Ugly Lexus, 2010 Prius Uglier. 2010 Camry was beautiful now made Ugly

[fayette1983]

this is a luxury version of the toyota corolla.

[NitekMuscle]

It's not based on the Corolla.

[kubomon17]

lexus had good looking cars - but this is ugly as fuck

[TheCarBlogger]

I love how he says "Tuwuta" at 1:20.

[greatmustis]

que decepsion......... es un clon del corolla que les cuesta hacer un modelo nuevo..... para algo tienen diseñadores

[quincy965]

it looks like a bling out yaris.

[dementedkirby]

Agreed.

[TR9O]

It looks like a freakin' Corolla. Fail!

[onoitsaWRX]

fcx clarity for me please!!

[camrygrande]

I know that most of you disagree with me but I like this car... The exterior is good & the interior is just amazing...

[texan176]

This car is a big mistake and will cheapen the brand. There are too many models already.

The best days of Lexus were when they only had the LS ES SC and GS in the 90s. Even the LX450 was a bad idea.

This one looks too Corolla like and has a Ford front end.

[NitekMuscle]

If Toyota wants Lexus to be sucessful on a larger scale, then it will have to introduce smaller, more nimbles cars in markets outside the United States. Lexus, for the most part, is eating it in Europe.

[texan176]

True, but if your typical 20somthing is driving around in a cheap model then your 60something with money is not going to be so willing to shell out over 70 grand on an LS because of the lack of being exclusive.

When Lexus was first introduced in the 90s in the US it was like being a part of the club to own one. The entire Lexus brand was created for North America because people like to feel special here. Otherwise, the cars could have just been sold like Toyotas like other places.

[NitekMuscle]

Well, Lexus itself doesn't really cut corners in terms of quality, so I don't think the HS is going to be a disaster on that front.

Toyota has had a legacy of offering up relatively cheap vechiles under the Lexus nameplate. Neither the ES 250 available at the launch in August 1989 or the first-generation IS 300 put a dent in LS sales.

[texan176]

The first ES is the blacksheep of Lexus...they just needed a filler car to market with the LS at the time until a new camry came out and a new ES could be co-developed. The LS was the make or break car for Lexus in 1990.

The IS was not suitable to be a Lexus IMHO...shoulda been sold at Toyota dealers.

Normal wheelbase LS prices will hit $100K within 7-10 years. The snooty factor will be there way more than before.

I do agree that Toyota will not cut corners either way.

[randomherov2]

If there will ever be one, hopefully the next-gen ES will be moving to its own Lexus-specific platform.

Toyota would have to monumentally change the LS and even the automotive design tenets of Lexus, for it to have a BASE price starting at $100k. That's more than the sticker for a base S-Class or 7-series sedan.

Hopefully, in the next iteration, the LS uses even more higher quality interior materials.

[tnguyen318]

Well, not really. Engineering is egineering, workers are workers, departments are departments. If you take Lexus and build an assembly line of its own, that should be enough. And of course among other things such as marketing department etc. A few workers in every department. Engineers and artists can stay and new ones can be hired. Materials used? We may all use the same. The only way to know about the quality of materials between brands is to ask.

[NitekMuscle]

Also, the grille on the new HS is more of a 'placeholder'. The production grille is going to be similar to the one on the other L-finesed sedans.

[MajorCovert]

It looks like a Corolla with the new Ford Focus front end. For the price of both cars combined.

[lavakava]

its all in the 'badge'...

just like volkswagen was founded by ferdinand porsche, but the label keeps even touraeg much cheaper than a porsche cayenne.

[skbuoy]

I would rather get the camry hybrid fully loaded. the car is too expensive for a hybrid.

[rowsdower12]

Well duh. Its a Lexus. That's the point. Its a Luxury car. People who do buy these cars will like this.

[Kcdiddy]

A ford focus corolla lexus!!

[Domman56]

Now i seen it all

A Lexus prius

[spencer5231]

A very expensive Corolla hybrid.

[87TAGTABANDIT]

Looks like a Corolla

[88shottahz]

i guess manufactures just get a image blok on how 2 make their cars more different from others..smh

[albikavo]

a corolla with a ford grille

[Aruthy]

i thought that at first as well

[CloudAge]

Il admit this car is nothing new or a head turner, but you have to admit its good that there are more and more dedicated hybrids coming out!

[EnigmaNZ1]

Actualy it looks like a updated ateza, one of their better looking cars from a decade ago.

[zoemayne]

corolla like lesuxes and lexus like mercedes!? wth is going on. did they fire their designers and decide to copy and paste? dam recession.

[EnigmaNZ1]

Good god, a Lexus that doesn't look ugly from the side. Hybrids are for people that want to be seen to be green, but for whatever reason won't buy a diesel. If car makers were serious about being green, they combine a small diesel with the hybrid drive, then we'd be seeing real low fuel use.

[zoemayne]

COROLLA COROLLA COROLLA

[soulshower]

Ok. I see current generation Corolla in the profile and Ford Fusion, Edge and Flex in the grill!! Is that three slat horizontal chrome grill doing anything for anyone??? Cause this car may certainly be a quality, overpriced, ugly piece of machinery!!!

[Stevensz45]

wow , lexus and toyota fail. up with ford and gm!

[volvo30]

reminds me of a Ford Focus with a 3-bar grill...not a bad thing if you like the current focus(not a big fan but...) But I think Toyota could have done A LOT BETTER...but then again...it is Toyota...!

[devildriver024]

gross, a corolla with a lexus emblem

[ReSanSax]

This car is fucking ridiculous...just buy Prius!

[sirberner12]

its for the fuck heads that need that

lexus logo on the front to make people

know they have money.

[bludragwag0nz]

lets make an i hate rich people club...woohoo..not...instead of hating on rich people why dont you get off your ass and go make something of yourself

[svingt]

the main problem i see with this car is that it doesn't look like a luxury-level car, meaning no one is gonna pay a lexus premium price to buy this...

[filipinoboy147]

looks like the focus lexus style

[spritz0]

I've been in a Hybrid Camry, and there's more room!

[theentrepreneur2006]

and wait...whos gonna spend and 47,000 dollars to save 1.25 a gallon on gas? The purpose of a true hybrid isnt just to "save on gas"...its to SAVE MONEY. Spending a crapload just cause its 'hybrid' defeats the purpose..I dont get it

[theentrepreneur2006]

Ugh...it looks like a ford fucus meets honda civic...im not digging this look

[Wavehogger]

Oh what a feelin, Toyota!

[moubarak1990]

UGLY and not of a lexus standard....they shouldnt have taken the hybrid track....failure.

[udrokz7]

i dnt want a corolla from lexus. BS....

[didderson]

EWW the grill looks like a ford edge or other dumb ford grills. Also guy below me pointed out it is just a corolla with leather and rims lol

[nokia3591]

Only an idiot would buy this lexus corolla.

[HDTopGear]

Does HS stands for "Hybrid Sedan" or "Hybrid Sport"?

[Kevinkim7]

6th comment how much horsepower?

[bilalx786]

the shape isnt really extraordinary. its the same shape most 'hatchback' cars have nowadays.

i like the console and the mouse-thing. its practical. they really thought about it, which is nice.

the dashboard with the 2 colours, black and white, is also noticeable, i guess.

the rims are nice.

the backseat and the back of the car are missing objects in this video, but i guess the full video is on the website of inside line videos.

so yeah..

[lefthooklyrics]

looks like a luxury corolla.

[Maserati7200]

yeah... it does

[HDTopGear]

...and a little bit of the Honda Civic.

[jessiejames2012]

collies

[DJProPain]

i like it!

[DJProPain]

first view and comment?

wow
