Ok, those Mercedes advertisements at the Grammys......whew.....love the car.....are they electric yet???

and let’s talk the Lexus look……ugh, who ever told them the front end looks awesome??? Needs to be sent home. Lexus hasn’t had a good looking vehicle for at least 5 - 6 years or more.

Small Mercedes’ one looked good, drove well but not a hybrid. Salesman told me they aren’t going to have hybrids will be going all electric…didn’t say by when and I didn’t press since I needed a vehicle right away. Went with Lexus UX hybrid and love it despite the small storage space when the back seats are up which I knew before I bought. I have a 1997 Lexus still running smoothly.

But I don't think it sold well and they pulled the model. It was a B class, IIRC.

They had a hybrid very briefly, but I don't think it sold well.

I agree with you about the appearance of the newer Lexus. To me the front end looks like an angry/mean face. And Toyota (same company as Lexus) and Nissan have copied that mean face. Honda not quite as much.

My sister has a 2016 hybrid Lexus and she loves it. But it's ugly!
