My journey started months ago when I decided to venture out and take on soul responsibility of finding my family the perfect car. It was all new to me because my husband always took on this task for us, but it was my turn and I was ready. Of course being the mother of young children it had to be the safest car out there. But, being a fairly young mom I still wanted it to be stylish; I’m not ready for the minivan yet. When I think of style, luxury and class Lexus is the first thing that popped into my mind. Well, apparently I wasn’t alone. Lexus has a ton of awards under their belt for just about every car in their line up. To add to that, the Lexus RX 350 recently received the Top Safety Pick from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.  The IIHS is an independent non-profit organization dedicated to reducing the losses brought about by vehicular accidents. So as you can imagine, it is a huge honor to win this prestigious award.

For Chicago Lexus RX drivers, some of the biggest factors families look for when purchasing a new car are the safety features, and the Lexus RX 350 has it all! On top of having your standard airbags, the Chicago Lexus RX also features what’s called a rollover sensor.  The rollover sensor is designed to deploy the side curtain airbags in the event of an impending rollover. In addition to the rollover sensor, the Lexus RX 350 has 10 other airbags: driver and front passenger airbags, knee airbags for the driver and front passenger, front and rear side airbags with curtain shields. That’s about as safe as driving around in a padded room! Other safety features include traction control, an adaptive front-lighting system, and a back-up camera embedded in the rear-view mirror.

I’ll be honest, I didn’t know exactly what I was getting myself into when I started searching for a safe, reliable car for my family and I. I must admit though, I do like to have nice things and what’s nicer than a Lexus? So, when I told my husband I wanted a Lexus RX 350 he was hesitant at first, but all I had to do was mention the safety features- and, of course, the latest cutting edge technology- and he was sold! So the next step was visiting one of my local Chicago used Lexus GS dealers. It took me no time at all to find the perfect car for my family- and my husband couldn’t be happier with my decision.

It has been proven time and time again that safety is the number one concern for consumers when purchasing a new car. Customers want the satisfaction of knowing that their car will be able to protect them in a crash. With a million cars on the market today how do you really know which will provide the most protection in an actual crash?  That is why every year the Institute for Highway Safety  conducts various tests to see which vehicles are the safest and every year chooses the car that performs the best. According to IIHS President, Adrian Lund, “Recognizing vehicles at the head of the class for safety helps distinguish the best overall choices without having to sort through multiple test results.” This year the Chicago Lexus RX 350 was chosen as the IIHS’s Top Safety Pick because of the excellent protection it provides to its drivers.

Lexus headquarters tells the Chicago used Lexus dealer that the IIHS chooses the car that is the top safety pick by running four different tests on vehicles who have Electronic Stability Control. These tests include high-speed front, side and rear impact tests that test the protection against neck injuries that the seat and head restraints provide. The last test is the roof strength test, which measures how well the car will hold up in a rollover crash. The Top Safety Pick award is then given to the vehicle that gets the highest possible rating, which is “good” in these four tests.

It’s no surprise that the Chicago Lexus RX 350 was chosen as the Top Safety Pick it has many different safety features. These features include, Vehicle Stability Control, traction control, an adaptive front-lightening system, and a back-up camera embedded in the rear-view mirror. Also, the RX 350 has 10 airbags, driver and front passenger airbags, knee airbags for the driver and front passenger, front and rear side airbags with curtain shields.

If you want to be driving the safest car on the market today and if you want the satisfaction of knowing your car will protect you and your passengers during a crash then go to your Chicago used Lexus dealer to get more information about the RX 350!

When most people think of a luxury vehicle they think Lexus, BMW, or Mercedes. Well last month Lexus topped them all in sales rising 31% from last month. Lexus sold 22,216 vehicles in the U.S. in May, pushing its year-to-date total to 90,098 cars and trucks, up 23 percent from the same months last year.

Mercedes sales rose 27 percent to 19,184 in May and gained 26 percent to 88,010 so far this year. One of the biggest reasons sales jumped last month is because of incentive programs. Lexus offered discounted leases and reduced-rate financing to spur the sales increase. The Lexus RX has been one of their best sellers so far this year. The 2010 Lexus RX 350 was honored with the Top Safety Pick Award by the US-based Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) for the excellent protection that the luxury SUV provides its riders.

This may have been a major factor when Chicago consumers chose the Chicago Lexus RX as one of the top luxury family vehicles. The RX isn’t the only thing worth checking out at your Lexus dealer, the Chicago Lexus GX also has plenty to brag about! According to Kelly Blue Book “the GX 470 is expected to retain a high resale value, holding 68% of its purchase price at 24-months and an amazing 56% at 48 months. That’s far better than the Cadillac SRX, Lincoln Aviator, and Mercedes ML-class.”  Word must be getting out on the Chicago Lexus GX because sales have more than tripled this year compared to last year. A lot of people worried that in this economic crisis luxury vehicle sales would decline considerably, but according to their sales numbers they are certainly holding their own! Not to mention with the Lexus GX starting at around $10,000 less than the comparable Mercedes, its no wonder Lexus is leading the way.

After recently test driving the Lexus RX myself, I am very impressed! With this vehicle, they really have thought of everything! It is the definition of luxury. I couldn’t believe the amount of cargo space and the overall sleek design. At first I was a little surprised that Lexus out-sold Mercedes, but after experiencing a Lexus first hand, it’s amazing they didn’t completely blow them out of the water!

When you hear Lexus you think of high quality cars, but most people also think expensive  and don’t even bothering looking into purchasing a Lexus model because they think it’s out of their price range. Actually, that way of thinking is false you may have to spend a extra few dollars in the beginning, but in the long run you will end up getting a car that will last you for a long time and will even spend less on gas or other etc throughout the time you own the car. Your probably thinking well how do I find these cars that have the best value for the amount of money I spend? Don’t worry, U.S. news has created the top cars that are the Best Cars for the Money across 23 different categories and U.S named the Chicago Lexus RX 350 the ”Best Luxury Midsize Crossover for the Money,” on this year’s “Best Cars for the Money” list.

Lexus headquarters tells the Chicago used Lexus dealer that the cars that are featured on the “Best Cars for the Money” list are picked based on U.S News’ automotive rankings and a estimated five-year cost of ownership from Intellichoice. All of the cars on the list may seem very different, you see everything from tiny subcompacts, trucks, hybrids to large SUV’s,but they are actually very similar.  There biggest similarity is they all offer a combination of day-to-day livability and value when compared to other cars in their class. Also, all these cars don’t just have one good thing about them they all have many.

In decided what cars will be featured on this list auto critics from U.S. News look at each car and how they perform over many different categories. When looking at the  Chicago Lexus RX 350, U.S. News pointed out a few major reasons why the Lexus RX 350 was awarded “Best Luxury Midsize Crossover for the Money,” they said it has a “Luxurious, high-tech interior with comfortable seats,” has a “New V6 engine with fuel economy,” and the Lexus brand has a “Strong reputation for quality and value.” Now if those reasons weren’t enough to point out how great the RX 350 is or even if the fact that it’s a best value for your money doesn’t have you fiening for this Lexus model the Chicago used Lexus dealer says this last fact about the RX should convince you. The Lexus RX 350 ranked 1 out of 17 Luxury Midsize SUV’s which was based on 56 published reviews and test drives, and U.S News’s analysis of reliability and safety data.Now next time you want to hid your wallet when looking at a Lexus, you might want to think twice because just think how much money you will end up saving for investing in a top-of-the -line car.

The Lexus HS250h is pleasing to the eye as well as spacious and easy to drive. Instead of being simply a vessel for transportation that does something good for our Earth, Lexus has made hybrids fashionable.

Many hybrids use their engines as inspiration for their interiors. The typical hybrid takes its reputation as the wave of the future and instills that ideal on everything from the seats to the dashboard. Lexus has broken this trend with the HS250h. Instead of using futuristic designs Lexus maintains the luxurious look customers expect from this automaker yet still retains the environmentally friendly materials of a hybrid. The interior is designed of bio-plastic materials and according to Lexus a large percent of the automobile is recyclable.

Lexus has reached a new market of people with this beautiful interior. To find out more about Lexus automobiles visit your local Chicago Lexus GS hybrid dealership.
