1. Margaux Perrier - ChickDriven
Margaux Perrier writes for the blog ChickDriven, a wonderful source for all things automotive, from an female perspective.

2. Jeff Rundles - Colorado Biz Magazine
Writing for the online publication Colorado Biz Magazine, Jeff Rundles waxed ecstatic in a glowing review for the Lexus RX 450h SUV hybrid. While he notes that he felt less warmly towards Lexus in past reviews, Jeff admits that their feature-heavy nature began to grow on him. One of his standout points is simple math: By official estimates the non-hybrid Lexus RX eats up $2000 more in gas over 5 years the hybrid. Factoring the $4000 price difference between versions, and the additional features included in the hybrid, he suggests taking the hybrid route wholeheartedly.

3. Erica Mueller - SheBuysCars
Much like ChickDriven, SheBuysCars is a car website with a decidedly female slant. In her review for the 2015 Lexus RX Hybrid, Erica Mueller listed some concerns, but ultimately saw fit to recommend the hybrid on account of its impressive gas efficiency, especially considering its size and interior space. For what it may have lacked in that apparent "luxury" vibe Lexus is most often known for, the test model earned great praise for its technical achievements.

4. Eric Adams - Mens Health Magazine
Mens Health is probably not the first site we would think of when it comes to auto expertise, but their tech writer Eric Adams wrote about his shocking experience of the Lexus CT 200h. Adams went crazy over the hybrid's sense of style and handling, saying it was the first time he was "genuinely startled by a car." The number of standard features left an indelible impression, and the fuel economy (as always) impressed him, as with virtually every review of a hybrid Lexus. Although Adams does mention a lack of impressive acceleration, he notes that this is obviously due to the fuel-conscious design.

5. Benjamin Zhang - Business Insider
Praise for a certain model becomes all the more meaningful when it's made clear the reviewer in question isn't a fanboy of the brand. Benjamin Zhang of Business Insider initially found the CT 200h compact hybrid "unrefined, underpowered, and completely underwhelming," though he notes that other reviewers felt the exact opposite about it. That earlier review makes Zhang love for the bigger Lexus ES 300h hybrid, all the more meaningful. From its impressive fuel economy to an otherwise luxurious experience, Lexus's full-sized hybrid sedan made a true believer out of Zhang.
