The <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/lexus/hs+250h/">Lexus HS 250h</a> was <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2012/05/17/lexus-kills-off-slow-selling-hs-250h/">put to rest in the US</a> at the beginning of this year, but it is apparently being offered a way back onto the mortal coil in the Japanese market. This is reputedly a picture of what the JDM-spec entry-level Lexus hybrid sedan will look like, and what a difference 11 months makes. It appears that only the front clip changed, the brand's new design language giving it much more visual oomph than the hyped-up hybrid <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/toyota/corolla/">Corolla</a> look we were offered.<br />
<br />
It doesn't hurt that the front treatment virtually clones the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2012/06/18/2013-lexus-es-350-first-drive-review/">2013 Lexus ES</a>, the blacked-out center bar in the spindle grille adding some aggression to the smaller package. The rest of the slow-seller's exterior looks to be carried over largely as it was when it left us, and a report by <em>Lexus Enthusiast </em>indicates the model's resurrection is scheduled to go on sale in Japan by the end of this month.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2012/11/22/this-is-the-much-better-looking-lexus-hs-250h-that-we-wont-get/">This is the much better looking Lexus HS 250h that we won't get</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblog</a> on Thu, 22 Nov 2012 13:59:00 EST.
