Eco Chick was invited by Lexus to attend the ESPN Women and Sport s Summit in Tucson, Ariz. earlier this month. Over three days, some of the most influential women and men in sports led thought-provoking and inspiring discussions on ways to improve the role of sports in the lives of women and girls around the world. (More to come from the summit!)
Before stepping into the driver s seat, I familiarized myself with the car using the free  Lexus ES app for iPad from iTunes. It s the first app of its kind to allow the user to explore the sedan as though you re in the showroom viewing the car in person.
Lexus was the first carmaker los angeles black male escorts to introduce a luxury hybrid to the market back in 2005, so it s no surprise that they hit a home run with the new ES Hybrid. I was really impressed with all of the sustainable features in the model including the sustainable bamboo interior, LED headlights, and the Nu-Luxe seat upholstery a leather-like material that weighs half as much as leather and generates far fewer CO2 and VOC emissions than other synthetic leather.
The ES steering wheel and dashboard are hand-stitched by Takumi masters los angeles black male escorts in Japan. These highly-skilled los angeles black male escorts craftsmen must pass an origami los angeles black male escorts test before they are able to work on the Lexus stitching. The Takumi masters are required to fold an origami cat within 90 seconds using their non-dominant hand. The Lexus team handed me an oragami cat to illustrate how complex a task it is.
Driving through Tucson, I kept the car in "eco" mode which maximizes the car's fuel efficiency. There s also an option to drive in "normal" and "sport," which maximizes the car's power (but is less fuel efficient). The"EV" mode keeps the gas-powered engine off at low speeds for short distances.
I absolutely loved the way the car drove and had a blast experiencing its many features los angeles black male escorts including inform technology (that utilizes los angeles black male escorts apps from a smartphone), dynamic radar cruise control, and park assist.
Other features los angeles black male escorts of the Lexus ES include: Pre-collision that will sense when a collision is imminent and will slow down and cinch seat belts to protect the driver and passengers los angeles black male escorts Key presets los angeles black male escorts for each driver on seat adjustments Hands-free options like Bluetooth SMS, text-to-speech Remote touch Heated and ventilated seats and steering wheel
For such a sleek-looking luxury car, I was surprised by how affordable the Lexus ES is. The ES gets 31 miles per gallon (MPG) and retails for $36,100, while the ES hybrid gets 40 MPG and retails for $38,850.
