MOTORS

THE LEXUS IS 300h PREMIER

HAILED BY ALAN PARTRIDGE AS 'THE JAPANESE MERCEDES', LEXUS, (OR LEXII, AS ALAN WOULD
REFER TO THE PLURAL), IS FAMOUS FOR ITS ABILITY TO EXUDE CLASS AND QUALITY, WITHOUT
BEING OVERLY OSTENTATIOUS. A PROPER CAR FOR PROPER DRIVERS, LEXUS IS DESIGNED
WITH PEOPLE IN MIND FOR WHOM IMAGE ISN'T EVERYTHING — THOSE WHO KNOW THEIR
CARS PERHAPS, BUT DON'T FEEL THE NEED TO BRAG ABOUT IT. AN ALTERNATIVE TO THE
USUAL GERMAN OFFERINGS, THE IS 300H PREMIER WE HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF ROAD TESTING
RECENTLY, AFFORDS THIS DESCRIPTION PERFECTLY.
