"Loaded" hybrids

LEXUS TAKES THE “PREMIUM” OUT OF ITS HYBRIDS
The hybrid version of any car tends to only be available on the higher trim levels, making an already pricy package even more expensive. But Lexus is finding success by taking “some of the premium out” of its hybrid models. Or in other words, making them less expensive. According to WardsAuto, in the first quarter, RX Hybrid sales are up over 33% and the NX is up close to 170%.

Clean air vehicles will no longer ride pay lanes for free in LA County – Daily News

The clean air cars will get a 15% discount on the tolls, and this has no effect on the state HOV access.
