Mind control is said to be beyond the reach of modern science, but there are occasions when you question the popular wisdom. Take the Lexus RX in all its forms since its introduction in 1999. There's no logical explanation why an SUV would be the best-selling model for a nameplate established to sell luxury sedans. Must be mind control, then.

Or maybe Lexus put on its collective thinking cap, hit on a popular combination of qualities and is now reaping the fruits. If this is to be believed, then the 2010 Lexus RX 450h is a logical successor to the RX 400h. In enhancing the qualities that have made the RX series such a success, the newest hybrid SUV from Lexus takes a step closer to normalcy.

It's like that movie A.I., the one in which the robotic kid just wants to be accepted as a regular boy, except we didn't abandon the RX 450h in the woods to be disassembled by self-aware toaster ovens.

26 mpg my ass! EPA tested it at 30 mpg. Dissing is one thing, but LYING is another!

[thomas1984esc]

who cares about top speed? important ist comfort, lowered emissions and fuel saving. you CAN drive the lexus with under 8l if you want! thats a big surprise to me if you think of other SUVs.

Stop Dissing Lexus, you suck inside line. This review did nothing. Not informative.

[xiilazyalex]

What a biased review... These people tried too hard to point out the bad part about this vehicle and talked about ''top speed''... Now who's going to talk about performance in a luxury 'HYBRID' suv??? This suv, in my opinion, is amazing and a really good family car.

[banstaman]

I wonder how much better this would be if they utilized active grille shutters, and lithium batteries. Hmmm.

[babajarac]

after this "test", u can conclude that Inside Line is a GM company...

[etoyotarockshsucks]

@trollsneedmeds3 LOL, obviously you have mental illness because you dont see quality and luxury.

[etoyotarockshsucks]

@trollsneedmeds3 Go read a book youtube commenters. Im bias towrd Lexus because no other luxury brand comes close to their quality, quietness and comfort at the price range that their retail states.
