			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Japanese Automobile manufacturing company, Toyota, manufactured &#8216;Lexus RX 450h&#8217; which is a luxury car. These cars have awesome road performance, elegance and sophistication, and because of such specifications, they are very popular amongst buyers. In around Seventy (70) countries of the world, Toyota has launched its cars which are available to be sold in the markets.</p>
<p>Lexus have a lot of categories available in the market. Toyota has launched its models in nearly seventy countries of the world which are present to be sold in the markets.</p>
<p>Two variations of Lexus RX Hybrid have been introduced since its first launch. The foremost model of this generation was first launched in 2005 and continued to sell until 2008.The RX 400 H was another component of this series. However, The RX 450 Hybrid is the most current series. It was first introduced during 2008 but actually it is a model to be launched in 2010.</p>
<p>The RX 450 H has many features that make it stand apart from the previous models as well as other hybrid cars. Being a hybrid, it has a dual engine system, which is known as the Lexus Hybrid Drive. In this system, there is one traditional gasoline engine powered by fuel, supported by two electric engines. One electric engine is for the front wheels and the other for the rear wheels. On slow speeds, the car can run entirely on electric engine, which provides fuel economy along with an environment friendly drive.</p>
<p>The secret of amazing performance of RX 450 H on the road is its strong and powerful engine. The most impressive quality of this car is its power and acceleration that ranges from zero to sixty miles an hour in 7.2 seconds. It has 234 torque and 295 horsepower, which make it an exciting experience of driving. Its 3.5 litres V6 engine works on the Atkinson cycle for an additional efficiency, as by doing this, it will consume a smaller amount of fuel.</p>
<p>The RX comes with a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), which features various driving modes for different requirements. It comes with both Eco Mode and EV Mode drive options, apart from the standard driving option. When the car is in EV mode, it can drive on electricity alone for a certain speed while the Eco mode maximizes fuel efficiency. It provides amazing fuel economy while driving in urban areas, and reasonable on highways, where it provides around 28 miles per gallon. This is much better mileage than previous Lexus versions.</p>
<p>The interior of RX 450 H is equally impressive. The padded seats are very comfortable and heated, and the interior features, such as the navigation system and Bluetooth, are very user-friendly. The car has an exhaust-heat recovery system to reduce engine warm-up period, as well as a cooled exhaust gas-recirculation system to give fuel economy. The car also has state-of-the-art safety systems such as the Pre-collision system, anti- lock brakes and visibility enhancing devices, which make its safe ride even safer.</p>
<p>Apart from being eco- friendly, the RX 450 Hybrid gives great value for money, which makes it a very good purchasing option.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Test driving any convertible means that you want to feel the wind blowing your hair and the car speeding along as it hugs the road. Nevertheless, you will get this experience from any sports convertible. A luxury convertible must look sleek, classy, and luxurious. Inside the car, the seats should be comfortable and supportive.</p>
<p>A luxury convertible will seat either two occupants in comfort or four. A problem with most luxury convertibles with rear seats is that they are narrow and especially uncomfortable when the top is up. Convertible car designers are still debating whether a light metal roof is better than a fabric roof or not. Both roof designs have their pros and cons. The metal roofs are heavier and take up a fair amount of boot space.</p>
<p>The earliest thing that you should check when taking a luxury convertible out intended for a test drive, is the seat of the driver, and the relieve, and reassurance it offers in adjusting seat and steering wheel. The most appropriate location for test-driving of a luxury convertible would be an open and empty road. It is highly recommended to keep its top down during a test drive.</p>
<p>While testing the drive of a luxury convertible with its top high, it will create a feeling as if you are experiencing a luxury coupe drive. In an ideal situation, its engine should start softly, even when the roof is down. Its engine is not supposed to roar when the convertible is coming into life. The gears of the convertible should work effortlessly; furthermore, its clutch should function smoothly. The car should catch speed rapidly just after you press your right foot.</p>
<p>In ideal situations, the car should not take more than eight seconds to set off from a standstill to sixty miles/hour. The steering should work nicely and during its drive, the driver must feel its strong grip on the road. Weather conditions must not affect the road grip of the car. The car is supposed to run smoothly even when running at hundred miles per hour speed.</p>
<p>The ride must be smooth and not jarring and there should be no vibration at high speeds. On twisting roads, the car should take the bends cleanly without any body roll or tyre screeches. The car must not buffet in the wind and the windshield angle should deflect the breeze from being blown in the driver, and the face of the front seat occupant. The brakes should be effective and responsive with anti locking system.</p>
<p>The gear changes of the car, pace, and reaccelerating should be smooth. The engine of the car should not have to make effort at heights. The controls of the vehicle must have a trouble-free approach, and its all the instruments should be highly discernible with the direct sun shining on them. A luxury convertible is highly expected to have a beautiful interior.</p>
<p>The driver of a luxury convertible highly enjoys its drive. The driver must not lose control on the car. An ideal luxury convertible is very much protected and a pleasure to drive.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For most of us, it would be impossible to imagine a life without cars. They have become an essential and natural part of our routine. There are many types of cars available and one of the types is luxury cars. Among the many kinds of luxury cars, one category is luxury convertibles.</p>
<p>A luxury convertible is a car that turns heads when it is on the road. It is elegant and posh and at the same time, provides an exhilarating experience to the driver. Over the years, it has become a popular choice for many who can afford it. It is no doubt an expensive car, but there are many reasons why it is still the best buy.</p>
<p>The first reason is that a luxury convertible is a status symbol. It exudes class and elegance. No matter where you drive it, you are sure to get appreciating looks from others. Luxury convertibles are the first choice for the rich and famous that has a certain lifestyle to uphold. If you are successful and thriving, a luxury convertible is a car that best goes with your image. Whether you prefer a sporty or sophisticated look, there are many designs available from which, you can choose.</p>
<p>It is not just the exterior of luxury convertibles making them a good buying option. They also have state of the art technology, and deliver superb performance on the road. Almost all such cars have high-speed powerful engines that ensure an exciting driving experience. For example, the new Lexus GS come with an eight speed automated transmission, which would be difficult to find in ordinary cars.</p>
<p>Luxury convertibles not only excel in providing excellent performance, but they also excel in being furnished by advance safety systems, which ensure the experience to be safe. Several luxury convertible have attributes like Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management System (VDIM), Pre-Collision Systems (PCS), and Intuitive Park Assist (IPA).</p>
<p>The installation of the pre-collision mechanism is a very convenient and safe attribute; it is capable of anticipating a collision and automatically initiates the brakes. Safety is further emphasised upon by the addition of superior quality anti-theft systems, and waterproof mirrors to counter bad climatic conditions. The inclusion of anti skidding, and parking sensors make parking easy.</p>
<p>Comfort and composure is guaranteed because of the interiors of the luxury convertibles. Most of these cars are equipped with high quality leather upholstered seating with special pressure detectors, which have the feature of altering the seat as per the weight of the sitter. This feature offers great comfort and security.</p>
<p>In earlier days, luxury convertibles did not hold the title of being the best option to purchase, because they were not environment friendly. They used to secrete pollutants in the air, and this was obvious to the critics. With the introduction of hybrid convertibles, this problem has been encountered. These hybrid cars offer great fuel efficiency, and are environment friendly. The combination of elegance, performance, and security make luxury convertibles capable of holding this title.</p>

<p>Though the modern history of hybrid cars starts from the 1990s, they can not be reckoned a new invention at all. Different types of hybrid engines and sources of power were used in the means of transport even hundreds of years ago. However, it is true that the greatest advances in this connection have been noticed during the past few years.</p>
<p>Substitutes of fuel power came into the world, when a group of Flanders were conducting an experiment over the steam that they used to power their cars. This was continued further then for the coaches to be powered with steam as well. Still it is considered that the hybrid cars were a result of an ongoing research for economic and manageable ways to provide fuel for the vehicles.</p>
<p>With just a few minor advancements in the 1600s and 1700s, it is a fact that until 1898, the real Hybrid cars did not come in to existence. The introduction of the first original hybrid fuelled car was made in the 1898.</p>
<p>Porsche was the first automaker who used the same kind of engine that can be seen in today conventional hybrid vehicles. This Porsche developed engine used the same kind of engine to rotate its generator to power the electric motors that was placed in the hub of the real car wheel. This Porsche vehicle could travel around 40 miles by utilising the power of its batteries. A year after the emergence of this hybrid, there were two more hybrids that could be seen in Paris.</p>
<p>Many electric and hybrid cars came into development by the early years of the 20th century. It was very common to see several numbers of hybrid and electric cars on the road. Strangely the number of hybrid cars to be seen commonly disintegrated by 1920s, seemed like they were never there.</p>
<p>The biggest factor behind this disappearance of hybrids was the Fords renowned T-Model that could be powered with gas, as well as its production could be used in the assembly line that produced quite effective in making these cars faster and easier to produce.</p>
<p>In 1969, General Motors developed its interest in hybrid cars, and at that time, the recent history of hybrid cars started. They worked on developing hybrid cars, which were friendly for the earth as well as fast in drive. Several scientists, inventors, and engineers invested a lot of hard work and labour in the coming 20 years, to use the hybrid mechanics in generating cars.</p>
<p>The Audi and Toyota received a combination of comments in 1997 when they developed their first hybrid cars, since they had certain drawbacks. These mistakes were later on reprehended in the next coming models. Although there were a large number of automobile companies who developed hybrid cars, however the pioneer developers will always be Honda and Toyota, since they are the market leaders in development of hybrid cars in the modern times.</p>

<p>Lexus is a division of the Japanese car brand Toyota, which is a popular name among leading luxury brands. Lexus are known to be very elegant and posh cars, and are sold all over the world in around 70 countries.</p>
<p>There are many different types of Lexus cars such as the sedan. This category includes the Lexus GS, which is a midsized luxury sports car. The first Lexus GS was introduced in 1993 and since then three different models of this brand have been introduced in the market.</p>
<p>In 2009, the latest version of the Lexus GS was launched, which had become very competitive in the market. Its popularity has been giving a tough time to other luxury brands such as BMW. It is an expensive car and not everyone can afford it. For those who can, it is more than just a car; it?s a status symbol.</p>
<p>The 2009 model is the recent one of the GS series. This model has been immensely popular since its launch. For the rich and affording part of the society, Lexus GS indeed is a status symbol. Numerous reasons are attached to its fame as a status symbol; one of these is that it is a luxury brand name of autos. Since it is famous as a luxury auto brand, people who own it, feel pride in having it, and referring it as an elevation of their social status. Apart from other reasons, it is a fact that not everyone can afford it, which makes Lexus more exclusive. Lexus is not only known as a symbol of pride for its high price tag, but the quality factor also counts a lot.</p>
<p>The Lexus GS has two popular versions in the market. One of these is the Lexus GS 460, which is fitted with an 8-speed automation transmission for excellent performance and agility. The car also has state of the art security features, which provide a safe driving experience to the owner. These include Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management System (VDIM), Intuitive Park Assist (IPA) and Pre-Collision System (PCS).</p>
<p>The pre collision system makes use of sensors, which can detect when a collision is about to occur, and automatically retracts the seat belts and activates the brakes. The automatic braking system makes it easier to manage the car while driving at higher speeds. To reduce the number of accidents caused by bad weather, the car even has water repellent windows and rain sensing wipers. The theft defiant engine does not allow the car to start until the power key is inserted.</p>
<p>Because of the increasing awareness about global warming, the new hybrid version of the GS has been launched, which is known as the GS 450 H. These hybrid cars are environment friendly, as they have low emission, as they emit a low level of toxic gases, and are the only mass-produced luxury hybrid cars in the world.</p>
<p>Hence, it can be easily said that the Lexus GS is not only an embodiment of status symbol owing to its brand name, the car also provides excelling performance and standard that has made it so famous. Even the hybrid versions do not fall behind on quality while being eco friendly.</p>
