just pick up a lexus

little sister just picked up a lexus 400h hybrid. ill post some more pics later today, and a review.

this is everything you'll ask for...standard comes with navi, backup camera, leather seat, sunroof...almost everything is standard when u get the hybrid 400h. first the car is super smooth, i couldnt figure out how to start the damn thing though, took me awhile. but you would just insert the key and drop to d and just take off without having the engine started. took me awhile to get use to this..and gettin 37 mpg around boston is nice on an suv! other then that it's a lexus...pure luxury and comfort. dont, by any mean take corners or expect to win a red light race with this thing against a 3.0 x5 though.

A friend just bought a Honda Accord hybrid V6 - engine is extremely quiet, very roomy, not much on options & only 4 paint colors with only grey interior - 23-25 around town so far, hwy mileage not established yet - advertised at 27/37 - good acceleration, especially when you realize the engine is off when fully stopped and foot is on brake - starts up as soon as you move your foot to the gas pedal - nice college or work car

The RX330's are very nice. A friend had a brand new one as a loaner. They're well built, comfortable, and trick. The hybrid engine makes it that much better. The main thing that people are complaining about is how long it takes to break even on the gas savings vs. the premium for the 400h. At current gas prices I think she'll break even by Thanksgiving.
