#LexusHybrid

After speculating that the new GS hybrid, likely called the GS300h, would run with the 2.5-liter 4-cylinder gas engine found in the ES300h(shown above), Lexus has dropped some hints which now point to a V6 engine being under the hood. 

The Lexus CT200h has been a success for the company, drawing in younger buyers as well opening up a new low-price point to enter into the luxury segment, and now the car may spawn some new models. 

There’s an urban legend that Mitsubishi originally wanted to name the Starion, the ultra-80s turbo terror, the “Stallion,” only to FUBAR the translation. Say what you will about  stereotypical Japanese pronunciation—somebody at Lexus isn’t helping that cliché.

One wouldn’t normally think of the Lexus hybrid compacts as “tuner cars”, but if there’s one thing that SEMA proves, it’s that you can make anything a “modified vehicle” by throwing wheels and other bolt-on modifications onto a car.
