The HS 250h is getting lots of marketing time. I'm sure the HS will sell well and help Lexus be the luxury sales leader...now for Lexus to bring us an ES hybrid...

I wouldn't buy an HS250 knowing that there is a new 2.5L to go into the Camry that will obviously go into the HS.

Hell, I just want an ES400h.

Giving it away seems like the best option, especially for tax reasons.

If they are giving it away to charititable purposes, the charity has to be a qualified charity. If giving it away to people it's more like promotional/advertising purposes...

Then as a legit business/promo expense, it still has tax advantages ("tax reasons").

True, as long as the expense is ordinary and necessary in a normal course of business. I'm with you on that...

Interesting marketing!

And this will be a nice riposte to Top Gear's Jeremy Clarkson who sadly blew up an LS 400 on his show.

Conan said this is the Most Advanced Lexus Hybrid, is this more advanced than LS600hL? Is the Hybrid technology newer in the HS250?
