Last month we were in Las Vegas testing the new Lexus ES350 and GS450H. The were both outstanding cars in their own right but I did not expect to be as blown away as I was when I drove the GS450h.
We're lucky enough here at AutoSpies.com to get to test a lot of great cars, so we can sometimes be a little jaded on our opinions.
But every once in a while something really special comes our way.
And in this case, it was the Lexus GS450h.
When I took the keys to it I knew it would be good.
I just didn't know HOW good it was going to be.
Anyone out there considering or driving a BMW 5-series, Mercedes E500, Infiniti M45 or the like, NEEDS to go test drive one of these cars.
It's nothing short of awesome!
The power off the line will have you grinning from ear to ear.
When the Lexus folk told us that it was as fast as a 911 tiptronic from 0-60, we held in our laughter.
But they got the last laugh on us becuase this baby is an absolute rocket!
The best description of the power I can give you is that it feels like the last generation M5 off the line.
And that's nothing to sneeze at!
In my opinion, the last M5 was the best BMW ever made.
Plus, the new GS has the best looking body of the group and comes equipped with all the toys you'll ever need.
AND, absolutely driving it as hard as we could, the worst mileage reading we got was 23MPG!
Driving it conservatively, we got close to 30MPG.
That kind of power and mileage combo is UNHEARD of!
Take a look at the this World Exclusive video from Lexus that won't be available ANYWHERE else for a few weeks.
We know you will enjoy it!
And don't forget to go test drive one!!!
