BY KEITH GRIFFIN

I’ve always believed in the philoso- phy, “Never kick a man when he’s down.” The key word there is “believed” because, as a journalist, I can’t always practice my beliefs. Such is the case with the 2010 Lexus HS 250h, the world’s first dedicated luxu- ry hybrid that has been in the news lately because it is subject to a recall by its maker, Toyota. As you may recall (probably a bad choice of words), the HS 250h is sub- ject to a recall because of perceived braking problems that also affected the Toyota Prius, its hybrid sibling in the Toyota stable. About 14,500 HS 250h’s are subject to recall (not includ- ing those on the dealer lots being fixed before sale) for a software fix. I first test drove the Lexus HS 250h at a media event in Tarrytown, N.Y. last spring. The few hours I spent with the HS 250h left me with a favorable impression. (I also spent time driving the new Lexus IS 250c convertible at the same event.) At the time I was fairly effusive in my praise for the vehicle. In an overview for a magazine article I wrote about the car, I said, “There are a lot of reasons to like the Lexus HS 250h, the world’s first dedicated luxu- ry hybrid (and no, it’s not Prius dressed up to look like a Lexus).

The interior controls of the Lexus HS 250h can take some getting used to and are not intuitive. Photos © Lexus 8 ☎ TOWN-TO-TOWN CLASSIFIEDS ☎ A STONEBRIDGE PRESS PUBLICATION ☎ March 24, 2010
