Due to its decreasing popularity, HS 250H might be excluded from the Lexus family in the near future, since numbers proved that the model failed in attracting the expected segment of buyers.

Taking into consideration the numbers of such vehicles the company managed to sell last month, only 250, the percentage is up to 72.8 lower than the purchasing rate declared last year, for the same period of time.

The future wasn't bright in 2010, but the current path HS 250H is experiencing is even more alarming at this point in time, since customers seem to have lost their interest towards this four-door hybrid.

While displaying a considerable price tag, $37,000, the vehicle didn't manage to convince too many people that it is actually worth every cent.

Its manufacturers think about replacing it with a more affordable contestant, which will raise the enthusiasm of a significant segment of potential young buyers.

Therefore, Lexus might let the HS 250H hybrid go, focusing their attention on a $30,000-worth new member of the prestigious family, which is expected to boost the profit margins.
