Do you know what’s worse than being oddly interesting, though? Being completely forgettable. How many recall one of the other Lexus hybrids to roll out for the 2010 model year, the HS?
We don’t blame you if you don’t. Meant to be the IS’s counterpart, the compact HS just didn’t sell for the two years it was on the lot in the U.S. Once the ES 300h arrived in 2012, it left the U.S. market to soldier on in Japan until 2017, replaced by — you guessed it — the TGNA-based ES 300h.
Cameron Aubernon's path to automotive journalism began in the early New '10s. Back then, a friend of hers thought she was an independent fashion blogger.
Aubernon wasn't, so she became one, covering fashion in her own way for the next few years.
From there, she's written for: Louisville.com/Louisville Magazine, Insider Louisville, The Voice-Tribune/The Voice, TOPS Louisville, Jeffersontown Magazine, Dispatches Europe, The Truth About Cars, Automotive News, Yahoo Autos, RideApart, Hagerty, and Street Trucks.
Aubernon also served as the editor-in-chief of a short-lived online society publication in Louisville, Kentucky, interned at the city's NPR affiliate, WFPL-FM, and was the de facto publicist-in-residence for a communal art space near the University of Louisville.
Where do you go for answers when you have a Lexus with a gorgeous leather interior but are not sure about how to maintain that luxurious look? The "Club Lexus" forums, of course.
