Great day in the morning, the Lexus GS450h can't win a thing against the German diesels.

Losing all the trunk space isn't apreciated on german magazines.

Nice test, and a result I agree with.

I'm not a fan of Hybrids, but I must concede that I actually like the Lexus GS450h.

Unlike most of hybrid cars, the GS450h looks like a normal car. And a quite good look one.

If I were Jonathan Ross, I definitely would have a Lexus GS450h instead of a shitty G-Wiz. But I'm not Jonathan Ross...so if I were a businessman living in London or perhaps one of Beverly Hills right on elite, I would definitely have the GS450h instead of the God awful Toyota Prius.

Hybrids have not fared well in Europe because the European consumer seems to be aware that their strongpoint is urban driving. For the person who spends a great amount of time in city traffic, the hybrid is a good buy. For the regular European, a diesel is better suited to the daily mixture of urban-rural driving.

Ouch. Lexus got slammed.
