The Lexus SC430 coupe/convertible has been on the market since 2002, making it a near dowager in vehicular terms. Still, this rear-wheel drive luxury car hasn't lost much of its luster over the last seven years, providing the type of coddling, comfort and capability important to Lexus ow...
The words “luxury” and “hybrid” haven't always been synonymous, but thanks to Lexus these two words are now becoming more commonly used in the same sentence. A prime example of a “luxury hybrid” comes in the form of the LS 600h, which not only has amazing power under the hood, but also great f...
A staple of Canadian life, Toyota's Corolla is about as bread and butter as cars get… well, at least it is in base CE mode. When I slipped into my tester's LE trimmed cabin, however, I was pleasantly surprised by what I saw. The seats weren't leather, an option now available on S and XRS models an...
To tell you the truth, I was a little surprised by the HS 250h. Not at the reality of Lexus' first dedicated hybrid, which was bound to happen sooner or later due to the overwhelming success of its parent brand's Prius, but I was expecting something more dramatic, maybe something along the li...
When I found out that I would be getting behind the wheel of the all-new 2010 Lexus IS 250 C, I did a little happy dance. I know it sounds lame, but the Lexus IS family of cars has been amongst my favourites over the years and now that it has gone topless, this elegant sport/luxury model just got a l...
While sitting behind the wheel is a great experience, the 2009 Lexus IS 250 scores the most points as you approach it. From any angle, this luxury sport sedan is a stunning car. For 2009 there are some subtle tweaks, from a new front end to lower body panels and larger tail lamps, that enhance th...
I love the sound the Lexus IS F makes. It's intoxicating, addictive. Around town it rumbles and growls with a low, slightly menacing note. Mash the gas pedal and it becomes a sharp, vicious snarl, launching the car forward with enough explosive force to frighten young children and leave pass...
Each year hybrid technology gets better and better. Whether engineers are improving already existing systems or coming out with new ones, there's an emphasis on continual improvement, and this kind of research is in demand. But despite the headway made over the years, there's one thing t...
As hybrids become more and more popular we're starting to see a wider range of hybrid-powered models, and our evaluation of them is shifting from simply "Does it work?" to "Does it work well?" The Lexus RX hybrid is a case in point, bringing the hybrid concept to the luxury crossover market...
Every time I slide behind the wheel of a Lexus it immediately becomes apparent why the company has had such phenomenal success. Its cars are superb. The LS is the pinnacle of the company’s two decades of development, and each year it gets incrementally better. For 2009, Lexus has added all-wh...
Luxury meets performance meets high tech in the Lexus GS 460, the Japanese manufacturer's entry at the premium end of the mid-luxury segment. That's a part of the automotive marketplace dominated by the Germans, and the GS meets them on equal ground for ability while offering its own char...
