That video says it all. All hybrids should come in F-Sport trim. That will put to rest the outdated notion that hybrids are boring and lack connection.

"NOW THAT WAS COOOOLLLLL"!!!!! i asked the dealer if he could find me a Hybrid in F-Sport trim with the LED headlamps UL/PCKG. then i remembered they only come in RWD. and i need the extra trunk space that i have now. that video is the truth. i'd never drive like that but just knowing that i can is a beautiful thing.

Not only was it F SPORT, it was a 450h. One day Lexus USA will bring that over here!

I often criticize Lexus for having somewhat bland/uninspiring ads, but this is one of the best marketing pieces that I have seen from them in a very long time. While a bit long, an amended version of this video would make for a great TV ad that could really change people's opinions about hybrids. It's hilarious and the raw footage is great!!!!

that was great! Though I wonder how much of the hybrid technology is engaged when you are flooring it all the time. I bet the GS350 F would perform the same.
