Lexus IS 250C - where's the H?


Yes, the new Lexus IS 250 convertible is a nice looking car. But what on earth happened to Lexus' ambitions as a hybrid car manufacturer? In this day and age you would expect a company that already has hybrid-versions of most of their cars (unfortunately not the IS-series) would equip any new models with the same technology.

Instead, the IS 250C is powered by a 2,5 liter V6 petrol engine producing 208 hp. We can only hope that Lexus will come to their senses and offer an IS 250Ch at one point, with more power and less fuel-consumtion.
