We've exclusively obtained this document detailing the plan for a stop sale of the 2010 Lexus HS250h and a voluntarily recall of all 17,000 vehicles sold following NHTSA testing showing excessive fuel leakage after a standard rear-end collision.

Pricing has been released on the 2010 Lexus HS250h, the first dedicated hybrid from Toyota's luxury division. The not-Prius starts out at $34,200 for the basic model and $36,970 for the Premium model.

Hybrid-haters may expect the Lexus HS 250h to be a hateful, soul-sapping horror show, but like the 2010 Toyota Prius, conventional wisdom isn't necessarily conventional anymore.

Lexus debuted a new navigation system in the HS 250h, their new dedicated hybrid, continuing the assimilation of computer controls into automobiles with a track-ball-like mouse. We decided to play with it.

The Lexus HS 250h will offer the economy of the 2010 Toyota Prius in a more stylish, and more expensive package.

Rumors come and go, but as we told you back in August, this one has merit. Lexus is slowly letting the cat out of the bag about the HS 250h, its new dedicated-hybrid model.
