Default HS does not mean Hybrid Sedan...
Just found out that HS stands for Harmonious Sedan.

This according to Lexus Japan (www.Lexus.jp).

Who knew?

...and it gives them the raison d'etre in this unique feature which "awards points for environmentally considerate driving."

In Japan, the GT-R gets more features like "scoring" points and alarms for various things like how fast you've taken your car or how much G-force you experience during a turn.

It's like that leaf-thing gimmick with the Honda Insight. Or the Mini Cooper's "convertible-meter" that times you on how long the top is down...
