Two Lexus Models Make List of Consumers Top Rated Vehicles

Thursday, June 10th, 2010

Edmunds.com, the automotive information service, announced Wednesday that Toyota and Lexus have three vehicles on the Edmunds.com 2010 list of Consumers Top Rated Vehicles. These awards recognize the vehicles that actual owners rate the highest, Edmunds.com noted.

The vehicles honored are the Toyota Highlander and Lexus IS 350C and ES 350.

The Edmunds.com recognition came one day after the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) named three Toyota vehicles – the 2011 Sienna and Avalon and the 2010 Lexus RX – as Top Safety Picks for 2010.

Consumer Reports Best Car Overall Lexus LS 460 L

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

Best Car Overall
Lexus LS 460L
The LS scored an outstanding 99 out of 100 in our road test, making it our highest-rated vehicle. This large cruiser pampers its passengers with a comfortable ride and luxurious driving environment, including a roomy, well-crafted, and exceptionally quiet interior. It offers a plethora of electronic amenities, including an optional self-parking system. Yet, its controls are easy to use. Although the LS isn’t exactly fun to drive, its efficient 380-hp V8 and eight-speed automatic transmission deliver smooth, brisk acceleration and a relatively good 21 mpg overall, the same as a Honda Accord V6. All-wheel drive and a hybrid version are available. Price: $76,572.
