Consumer Reports Claims The HS250h Fails To Uphold The Lexus Name But Gives It A "Recommend" Status

 The Lexus HS250h is essentially an upscale Prius.  It carries numerous components that are similar to those found in the Prius, but it does carry one additional detail not found on the Prius, the Lexus name. 

Lexus, a make that is synonymous with luxury, coddling the driver, and offering an isolated, serene driving experience has failed to hold true to its high standards with the new Lexus HS250.  It's not that the vehicle is a total disappointment just that is doesn't live up to the Lexus nameplate and doesn't do enough to justify its price increase over the Toyota Prius.

Consumer Reports recently published a full review of the 2010 Lexus HS250h and some aspects of the review are provided below.
