Hey guys,
I'll get a bit of drive time and Q&A on the Lexus 250h over the next 24 hours. I'm in Little Rock right now. If you have any burning Q's give a shout.

In SAT terms, I think, 2009 Prius is to the 2010 Prius what the 2009 Camry Hybrid is to the 2010 HS 250h. Basically, looks to be (blasphemy here) a redesign and optioned up Camry drive train. But the redesign they did on the Prius drive train was substantial, so most of my focus should be on a compare and contrast of the 2009 TCH and the 2010 250h.

Hey Dan- how did your drive of the 250h go?

Also, I just posted this in another thread discussing the new 250h. Here's a link (think it may get more attention here).

How does it drive? Is it comfortable? Any idea on pricing?

Motorweek estimated the price at about $32k (see the link in my post above). Seems a bit high but I guess that's a starting point. Not sure what equipment this includes.

I paid $21,250 for my pretty much totally decked out Civic EXL sedan last year. Assuming you can get one for 29-30k late this year, then it may not be too bad a deal- given the market it's targeting.
