LUXURY GREEN MACHINES



For high-end car buyers, Lexus has rolled out the first luxury hybrids. And Newport Lexus, one of the best dealerships in the country, is a great place to check out the three 2008 hybrids loaded with premium technology and ultra-comforts.

The RX Hybrid, a luxury SUV, is roomy and sporty. The powerful mid-size GS Hybrid is a high performance car. And the newest addition to the hybrid line, the much-anticipated LS Hybrid, is a big luxury sedan.

Some of the notable features of the LS Hybrid include all-wheel drive, electronic power steering, a 5.0-liter V8 engine and a high-output, electric-drive motor, and system that effectively combines engine and electric power according to driving conditions. This results in a seamless acceleration and better fuel efficiency, no matter the speed.

Newport Lexus makes you feel like a guest at first-class hotel, rather than at a car dealership. Graced by palm trees, fountains, fireplaces and a grand piano, the dealership offers pastries and sandwiches from nearby Pascal's Restaurant. Customers can also enjoy the Coffee Bar, try out the putting green or stroll through a 700-square-foot boutique featuring Tommy Bahama and Oakley products.

The dealership's vast showroom, which opened in June 2006, displays all Lexus models in appropriate grandeur, while offering six separate lounge areas and an ample supply of plasma screen televisions and club chairs from which to enjoy them.

Open 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday; 8:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday; 8:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday. 3901 Macarthur Blvd in Newport Beach.
