2010 Lexus HS 250h

2010 Lexus HS 250H Design Rating

​            Now when you get to see what Honda has released this year it is not hard to see why Toyota is not scared at all.  When you can take the simple looking Prius and make it into the 2010 Lexus HS 250h then you know you can do anything.  Coming from the company who essentially created the hybrid market, it seems that it was a no brainer 

that maybe the Lexus division should get its own hybrid.  And did they ever get their own hybrid.  
​

       The new Lexus really shows the new design angle for Lexus from the odd-looking grille to the well blended flow of the body line.  But still it seems that Lexus has not gotten away from having oversized mirrors.  This is one thing which can kill a great design. Well in the case of the HS its not the case.  That would have to go to the mirrors and the odd grille.  This new grille should be more concentric with the front end.  It should be split apart a bit and stand in the middle of the duct hole.  This is something that may work on other Lexus models, but when you have a small design like this it might be time to rework some parts.
