Lexus Spy Photos?

Published by Mike Ingels at 8:33 pm under Uncategorized

My trips to area parks often take me past the Chrysler proving grounds near Chelsea.  And, occasionally, I spot a car or two with the tell-tale signs that it is still in the testing phase.

Tonight, I was driving on N. Territorial Road near the Washtenaw/Livingston border and I spotted a group of four Lexus test cars.  I snapped a couple of photos.  I don’t know if these are anything special.  They look like they are in the LS family.

    The White car is an ES 350 body style with a different bumper. The car could be the ES 400h Hybrid. The reason I think this is that the RX 400h (soon to be a 450h) has a different bumper than the gas RX 350 model to allow more air flow to help cool the Hybrid parts of the engine.

    The other car is a mystery. Maybe this is the Lexus Hybrid that is unlike anything else made by Lexus/Toyota. It has a funky rear end…

    Thanks, Dan! I have a blurry shot of a fourth car. They were speeding away kind of fast and I kind of had the camera equivalent of buck fever. I’ll post it in a little bit.

    The 2nd car is the HS 250h. Another blogger has just posted about the new Lexus Hybrid debuting at the Detroit Auto Show. You may have the first LIVE photo of it. AWESOME!
