Hybrid Gets A Sport Edition Last year, Lexus expanded its lineup, and added a new compact hybrid, the CT 200h. It’s a five-door hatchback, and it’s the lowest priced model ($29,995) that Lexus offers. The CT200h is designed to appeal to those who have considered a Toyota Prius, but would like something livelier and more [...]
Lexus LS Delivers Sport with Luxury A little over two decades ago, Lexus revolutionized the luxury car market with the introduction of the first LS400. This full-size sedan offered the luxury and the driving dynamics of a Mercedes at a much lower price. The LS400 was an instant hit—even Bill Gates bought one. Since that [...]
A Fun to Drive Hybrid Lexus has expanded its lineup, and added a new compact hybrid. The car is a five-door hatchback called the CT 200h, and it’s the lowest priced model ($29,995) that Lexus offers.

Of course, one explanation is that they have readymade Toyota platforms to use. In the case of the GX460, it’s the Toyota 4Runner. But no matter how you [...]

Lexus Hard Top Convertible is a Mixed Bag I guess that you would have to say that it was a no-brainer for Lexus to build a hardtop convertible version of its sporty IS model. The IS platform was made to order for this type of car, and an IS hardtop convertible enables Lexus to compete [...]
RX Hybrid Builds On Strengths This may come as no surprise, but the 2010 Lexus RX 450h hybrid doesn’t look a whole lot different than the model it replaces. In fact, if you were to just give it a casual glance, you might think you were looking at a 2009. Lexus was not about to [...]
Luxury and Low Emissions If you’re a person who wants V-12-type power in your luxury sedan, but low tailpipe emissions as well, Lexus has a car for you. That is if you have 100 grand to spend. The car is the LS 600h L. It’s the hybrid version of the full-size Lexus LS 460 L—the [...]
Challenging BMW Most people think of Lexus as a builder of luxury cars, but the automaker also produces a line of sport sedans as well—the IS250, the IS350 and the IS F.
