HS is the best selling Lexus in Japan
While it wasn't a hit here it was in Japan, the HS is by far the best selling Lexus. It starts around 3.95 million yen.

Lexus sold nearly 2,000 more HSs in Japan than here in 2009.

I thought there might be a variety of accessories for the HS250h in Japan, but I didn't see any in the brochure.

the ugly *** window in front of the door didnt work on pontiac minivans, didnt work on honda civics or toyota prius and surely does not do the lexus brand any justice either.
why move the door mirrors down and back to put a window in the a pillar, it just does not make any sense and looks like a total afterthought imo.

I think it is the look that is main problem - they should have copied the Avensis... this way, proportions look pretty wrong for luxury vehicle... unlike Opels/Buicks, Audi's and even Avensis.

The Japanese are very practical people and are highly subject to current trends that occupy their homeland. You can see this everywhere, hats, dress, hair, foods, etc..
I think the HS offers a logical choice than a Lexus ES or IS. Being smaller is important because of the limited and smaller parking stalls, roads there. Gasoline prices also would play a very important role in their buying decision. More mpg and using regular gas vice the ES or IS would be logical.
What I would like to know is if the introduction of the new CT make this car the new Lexus sales leader there? Being smaller, more fuel efficient and cheaper, would be compelling reasons for them to buy. I don't think the older crowd there be swayed by this because the HS has ample room and a better rear seat design (raised seating in the rear makes it easier to get in and out of the car). The younger crowd may go gaga though.

The English language brochure for the HS250h at the Lexus Japan website is nicely done. The link is: http://lexus.jp/international/models/hs/index.html. Click on "Go to Product Brochure."

I personally love my HS. My biggest gripe is how Lexus Canada always limits the options available up here. For instance, no way to buy an HS with the radar cruise control, heads up display, front camera or parking sensors. This car is not about the sexiest lines but rather the technology. They should make these available here.

I've purchased WeatherTech's trunk liner. Lexus dealers in the US sell a vinyl bumper protector, so the next time I'm in the States, I'll see if I can pick one up.

I was thinking about things like a hood deflector, rear bumper protector, trunk liner, etc. None of these are available from Lexus in Canada.

Question - does that WeatherTech liner help with road noise?
