2015 RX Hybrid

The 2015 Lexus RX Hybrid combines luxury and efficiency in one sleek, smooth package. The RX F Sport offers bold styling both inside and out to further enhance the energy of its performance features. A power rear door ensures that you don’t have to lift but a finger to put all of your cargo in its place. Hybrid efficiency combines the elements of an advanced hybrid with 295 total system horsepower and 30mpg combined rating.  The rear-seat entertainment system ensures every passenger alike is comfortably ready for the road ahead. Stay in command of your vehicle with voice-command technologies that allow you to control climate and audio, as well as get directions. All weather drive tops-off this perfectly packaged luxury by ensuring you are never unprepared for the road ahead.

2015 Lexus IS F

Forever the IS has been one of our favorites, and for good reason. With just once glance, it is obvious that the IS was crafted to make a bold, eye-turning statement. Contours radiating from the LED lights make a not-so-subtle statement of arrival wherever you go. The IS was crafted with those who love to make an entrance and for those who don’t follow the crowd, but lead it. The rear-wheel drive IS 350 flaunts the same heart-reviving transmission found in the ultra high-performance RC-F Sport. The digital instrument cluster in the IS F Sport was modeled after LFA super car. With performance driving modes to fit any driving terrain, you are all-hands-on-deck with this sport-luxury package. We don’t expect you to take our word for it, which is why we are ready to take you on the test-drive of your life.
