Review of the Lexus CT200h
To start let's look at this new Lexus as a car and not a hybrid. Why? Well for 2011 Malaysians, especially urban city dwellers, the hybrid ownership proposition has moved up a few notches due to the exclusion of import tax on hybrid vehicles below 2-litre engine capacity for the 2011 financial year. This has reduced the price of hybrid cars by some 30-35% for 2011. This has allowed Lexus to sell the new CT200h from just RM 167,000.00. Lexus's sister company, Toyota has also managed to bring down the price of their world popular Prius hybrid to just RM 139,000.00. Now on an average day we can see at least 1 hybrid or 2 on Klang Valley roads in daily commute. In my neighborhood in Petaling Jaya alone the sightings are even higher at 5-6 hybrids a day.
We are testing the Lexus CT200h here and we want to bring you first its review as a 'CAR' as most buyers have looked at it as more a car than an environmental friendly vehicle. This is because its selling price allows many middle class Malaysians to own a luxury product which SHOULD be selling for near RM 230,000 plus. Therefore it is an alternative to the popular VW Golf TSI and Mazda3 Sport which costs just a smidgen lower.
Land Rover: The Best 4×4 By Far, a Brief Guide
The British born manufacturer Land Rover is synonymous with vehicles that are designed for purpose plus strong, reliable, hard-wearing and easily at home with driving off-road in the countryside, as they are in a town.
The company's pedigree stretches far back to its launch in 1948, in that time it has made its mark not only in the British motoring industry, but also across the worldwide motoring globe. I'm sure it would be hard to find a country that does not have a Land Rover in residence.
To date the Land Rover design and concept has not really changed much during its 63 year history and evolution. Originally the Rover Car Company owned the Land Rover name and related purely to one vehicle dedicated to on and off-road use. Where as today the brand has grown hugely and moved with the times, because you can buy a Land Rover in many different guises.
These various options when choosing your SUV of choice will depend largely on what you plan to use the vehicle for? As, if you are a farmer or someone who lives and works within the countryside throughout the seasons, you might be better to choose the traditional Defender model, because of its go-anywhere 4x4 workhorse reputation.
