2013 LEXUS REVIEW
The Lexus IS remains offered in two different body styles, both available in IS 250 or IS 350 guise. IS 250 models come with a 204-horsepower, 2.5-liter V6 engine while IS 350 models get a 306-hp, 3.5-liter V6. Both engines come with variable valve timing for responsiveness as well as fuel efficiency-the IS 250 is quite economical with EPA ratings of up to 21 mpg city and 29 highway. While the IS 250 comes standard with a 6-speed manual transmission, with a 6-speed automatic (and steering-wheel paddle-shifters) optional, all IS 350 models come with the automatic.In all Lexus IS models, a double-wishbone suspension design in front and a multi-link rear setup help reduce weight and increase responsiveness. The suspension in the IS is tuned to be quite firm, yet there's enough give to maintain enough ride comfort for most.
Walkaround
The IS has rather compact exterior proportions, which means that backseat space is tight for the tallest adults, especially in IS C convertibles. However it's quite comfortable in front. Leather upholstery is standard, with new black-metallic accents in the sedan and the IS sedan has a reasonably large trunk.Although the Lexus IS C convertibles bear a strong likeness to the IS sedans from the front and back, their fast-opening retractable hardtop setup, made of lightweight aluminum, is an excellent way to enjoy open-air motoring without compromises the rest of the year. The top opens or closes in just 20 seconds and wind buffeting is quite good with it down.A full roster of airbags is of course standard, but IS models also include anti-lock brakes and Brake Assist, an advanced electronic stability control system called VDIM. It incorporates the electric power steering to help maintain control in an emergency maneuver.Standard features on the IS include power front seats, dual-zone climate control, rear seat vents, a power moonroof, a telescoping steering wheel, a HomeLink universal remote and an auto-dimming rearview mirror. Also standard is a premium audio system with 13 speakers, Bluetooth hands-free calling and audio streaming, satellite radio and a CD changer. The IS 250 AWD and IS 350 AWD add heated seats.Options across the lineup include a navigation system that incorporates a Mark Levinson premium surround sound system, which has 14 speakers and 300 watts. The Lexus Enform with Safety Connect feature is an extra for the navigation system, bringing direct emergency operator-assisted service as well as access to information from XM's NavTraffic, NavWeather and Sports and Stocks services. HID headlamps and LED running lamps are available on the IS 250 sedan and standard on the IS 350, while other high-tech options include rain-sensing wipers and radar cruise control with a Pre-Collision System. The available navigation system includes a rear backup camera; another option is Intuitive Park Assist, which employs ultrasonic sensors to indicate proximity to other vehicles.A performance-oriented IS F sedan stands at the top of the IS lineup; it gets an 8-speed Sport Direct-Shift transmission with paddle shifters plus Brembo disc brakes, 19-inch wheels and a performance suspension-plus a 416-horsepower, 5.0-liter V-8 engine. Altogether, the IS F can get to 60 mph in just 4.6 seconds, according to Lexus.
Summary
New for 2013 is an F Sport Package for rear-wheel drive models; it adds many of the features of the IS F, including a sport suspension and special steering tuning, along with dark-finish 18-inch wheels, front and rear spoilers and an Ultrasonic Blue exterior hue.A set of F Sport accessories, available at dealerships for both on the sedans and convertibles, adds many of the appearance upgrades individually.

2013 Lexus LS Review
The Lexus LS 460 and LS 460 L have a quiet, yet strong personality, with a 380-horsepower, 4.6-liter V8 and very smooth-shifting 8-speed automatic. Rear-wheel drive is standard for this big luxury sedan, but all-wheel drive is available (the same 4.6L engine is rated at 357 hp when optioned with all-wheel drive). Then there's also the all-wheel-drive LS 600h L, which serves as the tech flagship for the Lexus lineup. It combines a 5.0-liter V8 engine with a strong electric-motor system and large-capacity battery pack. Both models are capable of getting to 60 mph in about five and a half seconds. Fuel economy is actually quite good for a large luxury car in either model: the LS 460 gets 16 mpg city, 24 highway, while the LS 600h gets 20/22. The available all-wheel drive system in the LS uses a Torsen limited-slip differential that sends 60 percent of engine torque to the rear wheels during most driving but more or less as needed for better traction. All-wheel drive models get standard all-season tires and a heated wood-and-leather-trimmed steering wheel, and there's an available Cold Weather Package that brings a stronger heater, upgraded battery and electric windshield deicer.
Walkaround
The LS models accelerate, handle, and ride with exceptional smoothness and responsiveness. Lexus says the LS 460 has the world's first motor-driven timing system-along with extensive noise- and vibration-isolation measures. The LS cabin feels rich and elegant and was inspired in design by private jet cabins; the materials and trim are conservative yet opulent, and details like laminated side glass help keep road and wind noise out as well. Both LS 460 AWD models and LS 460 L models offer Variable Gear Ratio Steering (VGRS) and the Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS), which together help make the big LS feel a little more manageable on a curvy road or even in a tight parking structure. The Sport Package brings a more focused performance feel to the rear-wheel-drive LS 460, with stronger Brembo brakes, sporty 10-spoke forged alloy wheels and a stiffer, sport-tuned air suspension. Inside, the Sport Package brings sport seats with leather upholstery, while the automatic transmission gets steering-wheel paddle-shifters and throttle-blip downshifting. Inside, the standard-length LS 460 models have just enough back-seat space, but the LS 460 L and LS 600h L adds five inches of length and it nearly all goes to rear-seat legroom. For those who ride in the back while a driver takes care of piloting, there's an Executive Class Seating Package that brings an ottoman-style seat in the rear right position. The seat can recline 45 degrees and includes massage functions as well as a rare upper-back adjustment. Also included with the package is a climate control system that uses infrared sensors to measure surface body temperature and adjust the climate control to suit. The LS 600h L includes even more standard equipment, including climate-controlled front seats, adaptive front lighting, heated rear seats, a heated steering wheel and intuitive park assist.
Summary
Among the leading-edge options available on the LS is an Advanced Pre-Collision System (APCS), which will detect pedestrians in the vehicle's path and help react by braking; the system uses both radar and cameras. Lane Keep Assist and Dynamic Radar Cruise Control are two other available features that help increase safety. Other features available on the LS models include climate-controlled rear seats, a 19-speaker, 450-watt Mark Levinson Reference Surround Sound system, and a navigation system with Lexus Connect concierge and Enform information services. An Advanced Parking Guidance System (APGS) helps with parallel or back-in parking by, after letting the driver choose the spot, actually steering the vehicle while the driver modulates the brake.

2013 Lexus RX Review
The 350 and 450h both carry a 3.5-liter V6 under the hood. The 350 is rated at 275 horsepower, while the 450h can do 295 horsepower, thanks to the assistance offered by the electric motor. The 450h can operate using only electric, only gasoline, or use both in tandem. The 350 uses a conventional 6-speed transmission, but the 450h utilizes a continuously variable transmission.
Walkaround
The 450h hybrid system includes a 288-volt battery pack that sits under the rear seat, which sends power to the front mounted motor-generator that drives the front wheels. In all-wheel drive trims, another motor-generator drives the rear wheels. Both models have another generator that's engine-driven rather than battery-driven, so it functions as a starter and can power the battery pack or other electric motors. Lexus uses a handling system it calls Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM); it's standard on the 450h and optional on the 350. If the system detects a loss of control, it uses all the electronic systems -- ABS, brake assist, traction control, and stability control -- as well as throttle control to help the RX get back on track. In the 450h, the electronically controlled brakes work with VDIM as well.
Summary
Further safety options include adaptive headlights and a pre-collision system with Dynamic Radar Cruise Control to set the RX's speed in relation to the car ahead. The RX has 10 standard airbags, a rollover sensor to inflate side curtain airbags and active front headrests. Inside, the RX features push-button start, 10-way power seats with memory, steering-wheel mounted controls, Bluetooth connectivity, and the Lexus Premium Audio system. Options include a smog detector, leather seats, rear-seat entertainment system, 15-speaker Mark Levinson surround-sound system, navigation system and back-up camera.

2013 LEXUS LX570 REVIEW
The LX 570 is built on a sturdy truck platform that is shared with the Toyota Land Cruiser. It's powered by a 383-hp, 5.7-liter V8, hooked up to a 6-speed automatic transmission. The engine utilizes Dual Variable Valve Timing for smooth responsiveness through a wide rev range, and Lexus says that it produces its peak torque of 403-pound-feet at 3,600 rpm and 90 percent of that at just 2,200 rpm--which makes it well-suited to towing.
WALKAROUND
Properly outfitted, the LX 570's tow rating is an impressive 7,000 pounds. The transmission includes provisions for heavy towing or off-road use and has a sequential mode for manual control. The LX 570 also comes with full-time 4-wheel drive utilizing a Torsen limited-slip locking center differential that sends 40 percent of power to the front wheels during normal driving, directing more to the front or back as needed for better grip. An active traction control system helps avert wheelspin and send power to the wheels that can use it, while the stability control aids control both on- and off-road. For more serious conditions, there's also a low range and locking differential mode.In addition to this combination of mechanical hardware and electronic aids, there are several other electronic assistants that help with difficult situations. Crawl Control helps keep momentum on tough surfaces, such as loose boulders or sand, and Hill Start Control helps start from a stop on a steep, slippery slope.Inside, the LX 570 offers three rows of seating, with big bucket seats in front with extendable lower cushions. The second row is also very spacious, with a nice high seating position and plenty of headroom. Third-row seats are better suited for kids, and they retract electrically when not needed, to a flat cargo floor.For a vehicle with such capability built in, the LX 570 handles quite well on the road--and has a relatively smooth ride and quiet interior that's worthy of the Lexus badge. Its body-on-frame construction allows isolation from jolts, while the long-travel double-wishbone front suspension and multi-link rear setup with air springs and a solid axle allows ruggedness combined with good control. An Active Height control system lowers the vehicle two inches for entry and exit or lowers it partway at highway speeds, while the Adaptive Variable Suspension system includes three modes, with a Comfort mode for very bumpy trails, a Normal mode or Sport mode for curvy roads.
SUMMARY
The LX 570 includes a total of ten airbags, including seat-mounted side airbags in the first and second rows, plus side-curtain bags for all three rows and knee bags for front occupants. Large anti-lock brakes with Brake Assist are also included.Just as any other Lexus model, the LX 570 comes with a long list of features, including many traditional luxury items and high-tech conveniences. A power rear door, push-button start, Smart Access entry, 4-zone climate control, a rear backup camera, a windshield de-icer, a navigation system, and a 9-speaker sound system with iPod and USB connectivity are all on the standard-features list. The navigation system now includes Safety Connect concierge and roadside assistance services, along with Lexus Enform information, which displays weather, traffic and stock market data.Options include a Luxury Package that brings a cooler box, semi-aniline leather upholstery, African Bubinga wood trim, a heated steering wheel, heated and cooled front seats and heated second-row seats.
The LX 570 is built on a sturdy truck platform that is shared with the Toyota Land Cruiser. It's powered by a 383-hp, 5.7-liter V8, hooked up to a 6-speed automatic transmission. The engine utilizes Dual Variable Valve Timing for smooth responsiveness through a wide rev range, and Lexus says that it produces its peak torque of 403-pound-feet at 3,600 rpm and 90 percent of that at just 2,200 rpm--which makes it well-suited to towing.
WALKAROUND
Properly outfitted, the LX 570's tow rating is an impressive 7,000 pounds. The transmission includes provisions for heavy towing or off-road use and has a sequential mode for manual control.

2013 Lexus GS350 Review
There are three variants of the GS available--the 350 (in rear-wheel or all-wheel drive), the 460, and the 450h. The base model carries a 303-hp, 3.5-liter V6 under the hood, while the 460 has a 4.6-liter V8 producing 342 hp. The hybrid is powered by both a 3.5-liter engine and an electric motor, for a total system output of 340 hp. The 350 comes with a standard 6-speed transmission, but the 460 comes with eight ratios. The 450h is in a drivetrain class of its own, with an electronic continuously variable transmission. All three models can reach 60 mph from a standstill in just over 5 seconds.
WalkAround
The GS has a lot of high-tech goodies, such as the SmartAccess sensor system, which allows the car to be unlocked by touching the door handle or trunk, and then started with the push of a button. Holding the unlock button on the key fob as you approach the car rolls down all the windows. Available parking assist provides alerts to objects in the way and dynamic radar cruise control maintains a safe distance from the car in front while cruising on the highway. Safety systems are state-of-the-art, too. Direct tire pressure monitoring, anti-lock brakes with brake assist, a 10-airbag setup, traction control and rain-sensing windshield wipers are standard. The Vehicle Dynamics Integrate Management system prevents a loss of traction using individual-wheel braking and throttle activation. On the 460, it works with the variable gear-ratio steering to maintain control. The available adaptive headlights that help drivers see around bends in the road are standard on the 450h. New this year on both 350 and 460 models is a standard brake override system. When the brake is applied, the system cuts engine power even if the accelerator pedal is also applied, allowing the car to be safely slowed and stopped.
Summary
Inside, heated and ventilated seats keep front occupants comfy, as does dual-zone climate control. Leather interior with wood trim adds to the GS luxury feel. The standard audio system includes an iPod and Bluetooth, but music connoisseurs will want to upgrade to the Mark Levinson 14-speaker system. The available navigation system can incorporate a rearview camera, as well. The biggest difference between the gasoline-only GS interior and the hybrid is an energy monitor that shows the power flow from engine to motor and back again.

2012 Lexus RX450 Review
The 350 and 450h both carry a 3.5-liter V6 under the hood. The 350 is rated at 275 horsepower, while the 450h can do 295 horsepower, thanks to the assistance offered by the electric motor. The 450h can operate using only electric, only gasoline, or use both in tandem. The 350 uses a conventional 6-speed transmission, but the 450h utilizes a continuously variable transmission.
Walkaround
The 450h hybrid system includes a 288-volt battery pack that sits under the rear seat, which sends power to the front mounted motor-generator that drives the front wheels. In all-wheel drive trims, another motor-generator drives the rear wheels. Both models have another generator that's engine-driven rather than battery-driven, so it functions as a starter and can power the battery pack or other electric motors.Lexus uses a handling system it calls Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM); it's standard on the 450h and optional on the 350. If the system detects a loss of control, it uses all the electronic systems -- ABS, brake assist, traction control, and stability control -- as well as throttle control to help the RX get back on track. In the 450h, the electronically controlled brakes work with VDIM as well.
Summary
Further safety options include adaptive headlights and a pre-collision system with Dynamic Radar Cruise Control to set the RX's speed in relation to the car ahead. The RX has 10 standard airbags, a rollover sensor to inflate side curtain airbags and active front headrests. Inside, the RX features push-button start, 10-way power seats with memory, steering-wheel mounted controls, Bluetooth connectivity, and the Lexus Premium Audio system. Options include a smog detector, leather seats, rear-seat entertainment system, 15-speaker Mark Levinson surround-sound system, navigation system and back-up camera.

2012 Lexus RX350 Review
After receiving enhancements to all sections last year, the 2012 Lexus RX 350 luxury SUV/crossover maintains exceptional amenities, safety features, efficiency all wrapped in a sleek, sophisticated package.
Walkaround
The 2012 RX 350 is powered by a 3.5-liter, 275-horsepower V-6 engine and comes mated to a six- speed automatic transmission. The RX 350 can tow up to 3,500 pounds and receives 18 mpg in the city and 24-25 mpg on the highway. The 2011 RX 350 comes in two trims: all- wheel drive and front-wheel drive and competes with the Acura MDX, Buick Enclave and Lincoln MKX.
Summary
The 2012 Lexus RX 350 is wide and long giving it a wagon-like stance and more of a carlike look. The RX 350 sits on standard 18-inch alloy wheels (19-inch wheels are optional). On the inside, the RX 350 seats five and the backseat folds in a 40/20/40 split that reclines and adjusts forward and backward. The impressive Voice- Recognition Technology controls Bluetooth, navigation, climate and audio controls by using normal speech. Another Lexus gem is the Heads-up Display system that projects navigation directions, audio information and vehicle speed on the windshield in the front of you, helping to keep your eyes fixed safely on the road.

2012 Lexus LS Review
The Lexus LS 460 and LS 460 L have a quiet, yet strong personality, with a 380-horsepower, 4.6-liter V8 and very smooth-shifting 8-speed automatic. Rear-wheel drive is standard for this big luxury sedan, but all-wheel drive is available (the same 4.6L engine is rated at 357 hp when optioned with all-wheel drive). Then there's also the all-wheel-drive LS 600h L, which serves as the tech flagship for the Lexus lineup. It combines a 5.0-liter V8 engine with a strong electric-motor system and large-capacity battery pack. Both models are capable of getting to 60 mph in about five and a half seconds. Fuel economy is actually quite good for a large luxury car in either model: the LS 460 gets 16 mpg city, 24 highway, while the LS 600h gets 20/22.The available all-wheel drive system in the LS uses a Torsen limited-slip differential that sends 60 percent of engine torque to the rear wheels during most driving but more or less as needed for better traction. All-wheel drive models get standard all-season tires and a heated wood-and-leather-trimmed steering wheel, and there's an available Cold Weather Package that brings a stronger heater, upgraded battery and electric windshield deicer.
Walkaround
The LS models accelerate, handle, and ride with exceptional smoothness and responsiveness. Lexus says the LS 460 has the world's first motor-driven timing system-along with extensive noise- and vibration-isolation measures. The LS cabin feels rich and elegant and was inspired in design by private jet cabins; the materials and trim are conservative yet opulent, and details like laminated side glass help keep road and wind noise out as well.Both LS 460 AWD models and LS 460 L models offer Variable Gear Ratio Steering (VGRS) and the Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS), which together help make the big LS feel a little more manageable on a curvy road or even in a tight parking structure.The Sport Package brings a more focused performance feel to the rear-wheel-drive LS 460, with stronger Brembo brakes, sporty 10-spoke forged alloy wheels and a stiffer, sport-tuned air suspension. Inside, the Sport Package brings sport seats with leather upholstery, while the automatic transmission gets steering-wheel paddle-shifters and throttle-blip downshifting.Inside, the standard-length LS 460 models have just enough back-seat space, but the LS 460 L and LS 600h L adds five inches of length and it nearly all goes to rear-seat legroom. For those who ride in the back while a driver takes care of piloting, there's an Executive Class Seating Package that brings an ottoman-style seat in the rear right position. The seat can recline 45 degrees and includes massage functions as well as a rare upper-back adjustment. Also included with the package is a climate control system that uses infrared sensors to measure surface body temperature and adjust the climate control to suit.The LS 600h L includes even more standard equipment, including climate-controlled front seats, adaptive front lighting, heated rear seats, a heated steering wheel and intuitive park assist.
Summary
Among the leading-edge options available on the LS is an Advanced Pre-Collision System (APCS), which will detect pedestrians in the vehicle's path and help react by braking; the system uses both radar and cameras. Lane Keep Assist and Dynamic Radar Cruise Control are two other available features that help increase safety.Other features available on the LS models include climate-controlled rear seats, a 19-speaker, 450-watt Mark Levinson Reference Surround Sound system, and a navigation system with Lexus Connect concierge and Enform information services. An Advanced Parking Guidance System (APGS) helps with parallel or back-in parking by, after letting the driver choose the spot, actually steering the vehicle while the driver modulates the brake.
