My last car was a Lexus hybrid (HS250h). I get slightly better milage with my Civic now.
I think they only made them for 2 years and they weren't great sellers. The milage was ok, but not great. 36mpg. I bought it used for a good price. It wasn't what I would call a luxury car. I had a 2000 Lexus RX-300 I bought Mrs. No2Gates for her birthday brand new. That was a luxury vehicle.So you’re the one who bought an HS!
I was still at Lexus’ ad agency when that car launched. And as the product SME I couldn’t figure out what we were supposed to do with it LOL
It was priced like a mid-size near-lux sedan. Same drivetrain but only ~66% of the efficiency of a Prius.
And no performance boost despite burning more fuel.
It just didn’t make sense and few were sold.
But they make EXCELLENT used cars, because no one knows what the heck they are so demand is soft.
At the end of the day it was a good car that just didn’t fit in the US market.
Mrs Pronstar had a 2010 Prius and loved it. We brought it with us when we moved…and it was cosmetically totaled in a hail storm not long after we got here.
So we replaced it with a Lexus CT Hybrid, same Prius drivetrain but it was down ~10 mph compared to her Prius. Drove a lot better and much nicer interior.
She loved this car and we made all of one payment before she got t-boned and it was totaled.

How about a M35 Deuce-and-a-half?I’m cool with keeping my diesel 4 banger truck.
I’d like to add a restored 78 f150 with a canopy in memory of all the fun times I had with my dad.
I don’t know what my third would be...
Good choice! I almost got one restored in the early 2000’s. That’s some good memories. Good postHow about a M35 Deuce-and-a-half?
