Lexus join in the fun at SEMA 2010 with some seriously titivated and tarted hybrids. If only they would play the same games with the oily bits. I think we’re going to stop trying to work out what Lexus is all about. Just when we think we have them pegged down as green halo, fluffy-bunny-loving […]

The Paris Motor Show is the official launch of the production Lexus CT 200h before it goes on sale in November and hits the roads in January 2011. We’re trying really hard to like the Lexus CT 200h. It could be very good. A compact executive car to take on the likes of Audi and […]
