After a week of testing new vehicles, members of the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC) declared Lexus the winner in the Best New SUV/CUV over $60,000 category for 2010.

By selecting the only hybrid-powered vehicle in its category, the media showed their support for sustainable transportation and the greener advances found in the hybrid-powered 2010 Lexus RX 450h.

“We’d like to thank AJAC members for recognizing the Lexus RX 450h’s winning combination that offers more power, and better fuel efficiency and emissions performance," said Larry Hutchinson, Director of Lexus in Canada. “For a safe, intuitive, comfortable luxury motoring experience in an advanced SUV design, Canadian drivers can count on Lexus.”

The Lexus RX 450h is one of four hybrid models available from Lexus, the world’s only automaker to offer a full line up of luxury hybrid vehicles.

I just wonder if most people who buy one of these hybrids will hypermile or drive like you average crazy person.

Yes it CAN get about 30mpg, but will it? The Hylander hybrid CAN get 27mpg, but if you check the EPA's website, most people report about 24 to 26mpg.

Don't get me wrong, it's a nice car and I would love to have one, but do you think most people will drive this car with hypermiling in mind? I don't know.

I would rather have the FEH if I have to have something that size. But I guess that goes without saying around here.
