What a totally ridiculous car. It's a hybrid and the best mpg he reckons it can do is aprox 30 ? Come on! My first car was a 2001 2.0 litre nissan sedan that could get better mpg than that. Seriously if I were shelling out for any 2010 hybid sedan I would be expecting far better mpg than that.
It has an understated look, its smart looking. The problem is that its overpriced! its like $33500 with no options. lower that to about $30000 and maybe make leather standard perhaps? Well they won't and we all know it!
@heartlessvietboy are you kidding me. Luxury cars should only be focusing on luxury not economy, atleast not that much that you make a cheap interior like the lexus.
I don't think so. Luxury is the finest things in the world. Both Environmental and Well Equipped. If you can build a car that's best of everything, you got yourself the best luxury car in the world. Lexus interior is classiest in the world. Center console is made of Platinum. Patterns on the wood flows. Leather is smooth as silk. Lines in the car = stroke of Japanese Art. Buttons are Flush. Seats are well drawn out in an interior with good carpeting.
@heartlessvietboy ya i guess, it still just feels bland to me.(except IS and mabye LS) but i have to admit the lf-gh concept is gorgeous. i think its gunna be the next gs.
Compared to ANY American car, Toyota is and haves an Excellent quality despite any recalls like lately. I'll buy one eyes closed hands down before buying and American one.
@icoopers Well i think you should reconsider once the new lincoln mkz hybrid comes out. It is the same as the car of the year winning ford fusion hybrid. It gets better gas milage than this car, and fits more people. Also the current mkz and the cts are the most reliable luxury cars atm. Just something to think about.
@icoopers Well you're seriously missing out. The mkz has an amazing interior too. Read a review, they aren't just fusions, they actually have great interiors. Read a review of one.
boring car.. best way to see a review is to mute the sound and look at the expressions of the tester... They should run test with the driver and passenger heart monitors...I have a seen a few reviews like this..and as always..the Jap cars...fail to get the heart rate...going..( not referencing fifth gear but other test)
Total tool mobile. Chevy's new freaking $17k cruze will get better city mpg with a non-hybrid turbo four. This car is garbage in an ugly box. Already saw some loser in one the other day.
I agree with you..for me, a small car will be smart or a mini. And big cars will be S-class, 7 series, and LS series.. Otherwise it's all mid-size.. :D
I like the techno stuff, but am disappointed with the styling. it looks like the honda city in the front and the old camry at the back. I hate it when i see a lexus that looks like a toyota. i mean this is a luxury brand , not some rip off
What I don't understand is that 35MPG??? I have a V6 Lexus IS 250 and It is rated at 32 mpg. (65MPH) on Freeway I've been able to get 31 mpg. so 35mpg not a big deal. I think that most vehicles will get 40mpg in 5 years from now so what is the benefit of this car? None. Unless this car is $30,000 or less Which I doubt Highly only true Morons will get this. Do your research Lexus IS250 2007 32/mpg highway and 28/mpg city. And much nicer and powerful car.

Do YOUR research, first off, the current and 2007 IS gets 21/29 mpg (most efficient IS model). 24 combined. The HS will more than likely get 35 combined. Yeah it's quite a difference. I have no idea where you find these rating??!?! So 35 mgp a big deal....yes. And no if you're leasing. Purchase: over 4-6 year period, the price of IS vs HS will be significant, HS being cheaper. And the HS is a plus for a Green enviro., whether u care or not.

The Japanese make a lot of shitty cars with a weak body that is very easy to get dents on the side. Even the Lexus is a shitty car with a weak body, it looked luxurious but it is not.
Little known FYI, Toyota Motor Corp has won more safety awards over the past 20 years than any other car manufacturer. Only in the past 3 years have other car manufacturers been taking the awards home. Case in point, Toyota vehicles (Lexus included) are the safest vehicles on the market. (Where do you people get this stuff????) Show me links to your research claims, I can't believe how uneducated people are these days, we have the internet yet who really uses it for decent reasons?
Why dont you get back to me when you can actually talk maturely.. Until then run along...My mother always said, dont feed the trolls on the internet..
Yeah. Please imagine if Diesel bounce back above gasoline and then add the cost of "blue liquid" between oil changes. How many tens of thousands of miles are you going to drive in order to recoup the diesel premium sticker price?
not all plastic, the best plastics are still made with petrol biproducts.. Although I'm sure they will continue to improve the so-called green plastics
you're supporting the oil companies either way because most energy companies in the U.S. are still burning fossil fuels to make the electricity that will in turn power your car.
This is true, for now. However, the government is putting loads of money into that whole "alternative energy" thing.. I got my money on a new cheap solar cell!!!!
Some guy below says it looks like a 8th gen civic, what an ass...civic hahhahaha RMAOFL.... But it does look like ur average lexus. Wouldn't trade my Altima Hybrid for it.. I get more HP for the buck, wayyyy quicker 0-120 mph time, plus 560mpg on 17.5gal tank, and still sexier. (which Nissan forgot to mention and claims its a 20gal tank, I guess 2.5gals are ur Reserve). But a lexus is a lexus when it comes to comfy and amenities, see guys I'm not a hater just a car fanatic.
looks like shit, Personally their other cars are simply gorgeous, but if lexus starts making shitty looking cars like this, then fuck them, they just ruined their company.
It looks a lot like a Subaru Impreza to me. Does anyone else think that too? I'm sure you'll see a lot of these in LA and Miami. I prefer the design of the current Prius to this and the next generation Prius as well. Toyota has got the tech. right, but the design of this and the new Prius is wrong.
Why does the styling of hybrids always look like crap? If companies want to make these hybrids appeal to the non-tree hugging crowd they need to make massive strides in the styling of them.
this car looks like a frickin toyota prius! really fugly if u ask me. just bcuz this vehicle is a hybrid it doesnt mean that it has 2 b ugly, light and cheap looking!
I don't mind metal that has a chrome plating, but, I really don't like the plastic that is painted chrome. It's like they are trying too hard to be special.
hold on stop the music if theres a BIG ass battery in the, why would you want the back seats to fold???
