Lexus hybrid hits Hollywood

The Lexus RX 400h is taken off in California and Hollywood A-listers are at the helm. Some Lexus dealers, learning from Prius mistakes, are not taking waiting lists but offering the hybrid SUVs to their most loyal customers first. Who drove off the Lexus Santa Monica lot with the first RX 400h? Dustin Hoffman. Some Lexus dealers have a six-month wait time for buyers while Toyota's U.S. sales executives work to increase the number of SUVs by 4,000 to 6,000 units. Toyota predicts about 28,000 RX hybrids will be shipped to Lexus dealers this year.
