Lexus New York: 2008 Lexus LS 600h L First Drive

[Lexus New York]

The LS series is the Lexus flagship sedan, its most expensive and technologically advanced vehicle. As the flagship of flagships, the LS 600h L is packed with everything that Lexus knows how to do, including a complicated all-wheel drive hybrid powertrain. It also builds on the inherent luxuriousness of the LS itself. The 600 is available only in the long-wheelbase version, and it has been specially trimmed for its $104,000 price tag with touches such as a hand-sewn leather dash and wood inserts on the grab handles, and is the only LS in any form available in all-wheel drive. There are exclusive colors and trim combinations, including the inelegantly named “Launch Edition,” which combines the Smokey Granite Mica paint with an alabaster and black interior.

2008 Lexus LX 570 Preview

Lexus New York

It’s not easy being wealthy. People are always buggin’ for cash, and there are so many choices to be made, like what type of leather to order inside your car, where to buy that summer home or what kind of caviar to serve. It’s confusing, irritating and inconvenient. Rest assured, we can’t relate – but Lexus can, and does, with the all-new and vastly improved 2008 Lexus LX 570. It’s bigger, more powerful, more luxurious and more able to go off road. In essence, it’s more of everything rich people like, which makes living the luxury life just so much more confusing. If only the LX came with a little butler who made all the hard choices for its customers, now that would really be something...

LA 2007: Lexus IS-F gets FiveAxified

We've berated the styling of the Lexus IS-F at length, but throw the Southern California team over at FiveAxis into the mix and we're ready to drive it out the front doors of the LA Auto Show. The combination of a custom six-inch wide body kit, Satin Black Pearl Paint and Satin Bronze accents make this IS-F a sports sedan we'd be happy to roll in. The installation of FiveAxis' own custom 20-inch wheels (20x8.5 in front and 20x10.5 out back), swathed in the same bronze hue as the ducting, diffusers and exhausts, ties everything together, and the lowered ride height provided by the Tein adjustable coilovers brings it all down to earth, literally.

Performance is aided by a custom exhaust system and what FiveAxis is calling a "Stage 2" engine package. What that means is beyond us, but we're sure it's got potential. Slowing those undefined extra horses is a set of Brembos at all four corners: 380 mm discs with six-piston calipers up front and 345 mm plates grabbed by two-piston calipers in the rear.

2008 Lexus ES 350 Review

The 2008 Lexus ES 350 is largely unchanged. The ES remains essentially a luxury version of the Toyota Camry; Lexus is Toyota's premium division. The ES 350 is powered by a 272-hp 3.5-liter V6. The sole transmission is a 6-speed automatic. Available safety features include ABS, traction control, an antiskid system, front side airbags, curtain side airbags, rear side airbags, and front knee airbags. Lexus's Pre-Collision System, which readies airbags, seatbelts, and brakes when sensors detect a skid or imminent crash is optional. It's paired with adaptive cruise control.

Wood interior trim and a sunroof are included, but leather upholstery is optional. Other options include the Ultra Luxury Package with a "panorama" glass roof, a navigation system with a rearview camera, and steering-linked headlamps.

News

The latest ES has just launched, so no major near-term changes are forecast. A gas/electric hybrid version seems a strong possibility by 2009.

Lexus NY: Hybrids are fueled by a philosophy.

While the automotive industry is beginning to embrace hybrid technology, for Lexus this is much more than the latest trend. It's part of our philosophy. As a corporation, we've been developing and consistently improving our hybrid technology for years, allowing us to leverage our sixth generation of hybrid vehicles. With each improvement, Lexus Hybrids take even less from the world, while giving more to the driver. Our luxury hybrids are all certified as Super Ultra-Low Emission Vehicles (SULEV) and feature the luxurious amenities, attention to detail and superior craftsmanship you expect from a Lexus.

From the moment a Lexus Hybrid begins production, great care is taken at each step to try to minimize the impact on the environment. That's why Lexus Hybrids have a lightweight body design and are exceptionally lean in their use of raw materials. Sophisticated computer modeling helps to ensure that our environmentally sensitive innovations won't compromise the quality of the vehicle. This not only enables a Lexus Hybrid to run cleaner and conserve natural resources, but leaves less scrap metal at the eventual end of its life. Lexus even recovers all hybrid batteries so that they can be properly handled.

The more you know about Lexus Hybrids, the more you'll appreciate how elegance and eco-living can coexist beautifully.
