My Favorite Hybrid Car

My Favorite Hybrid Car

Without question, my favorite hybrid car is the Lexus LS 450h. With sensual styling that has aggressive cues and accents, the 450h is subdued enough to slip quietly through traffic, yet from certain angles, the 450h lets you know that underneath the hood there is a tiger waiting to be released.

Start the engine and you’re treated to the distinct sound of… nothing. No growl of the engine, no burble of the exhaust, just a quiet idle, which does not change in volume when you slowly accelerate. The 450h is deceivingly quiet and many people will find themselves in shock when they begin to accelerate without the accompanying blare of the engine.

This is true, of course, assuming that you accelerate timidly. Mash the throttle to the floor and you’re greeted to a frightening scream from the engine and the sheer force of the motor propelling the vehicle forward forces your head to firmly and intently recede into the headrest. The sensation is nothing short of awesome, and I am completely convinced that this hybrid Lexus will give most sports cars a run for their money.

In fact, I’m completely convinced that this car is faster than most sports cars.

The Hype!

This vehicle is more than just a super-sedan, it’s a showcase of hybrid technology, forever disproving the belief that a hybrid vehicle has to be a sedate and mundane vehicle to own and drive. Whichever driver is lucky enough to own this vehicle will be fully aware of its awesome capabilities.

All of this comes with an appropriate amount of hype, of course, and the world has certainly set their eyes on the final product, which is set to roll out of Lexus’ factory later in the year.

Back to the Car

The LS 450h features more technology than Bill Gates can shake a stick at; a navigation system, self-parking technology, and, of course, a massive hybrid engine. The suspension is soft, yet firm enough that the driver will feel the curves of the road as the vehicle eviscerates the asphalt underneath it.

This car and all its technology and luxury, however, does not come cheap. You can expect me to put a second mortgage on the house to own one, so don’t be surprised if you see a few people driving by with all of their possessions in the back.
