    Lexus HS250h wins Ward's Interior of the Year award for hybrids — Autoblog Green

    I was fortunate enough to barely win a one week test drive of one of these. It had an interior that was (not surprisingly) FAR better than any Prius. Definitely check one out of you have a chance. I liked the stitching around the mouse-like controller (if equipped). However, for non-nav equipped HSes, the area jutting out would seem like odd or like wasted space. I noticed that when I looked at the JDM Sai w/o nav.

    I checked it out in NY Auto Show. Interior was very nice. The LCD screen that pop out was huge! It must be at least 8".

    Too bad it looks too much like a Corolla on the outside.

    CT200h has similar design. The handling and hatchback functionality will make it a hit.
