Default CT 200h lease cost vs IS250 lease cost

An ad in my local paper has a $31985 list CT200 for $349 a month with a $2775 Cap cost reduction.
A IS 250 has the same $349 a month and $2775 CC but has a $37570 List.

It seems all CT200 will have the leather option and list at just under $32K.
Escalating gas cost should help with sales of the CT200.I will test drive one soon.

CT200 is an overpriced corolla. IS250 all day. There is absolutely no benefit at all to purchasing a CT200. If I want a nice hatchback I would purchase a new Mazdaspeed 3. 32k for a hatchback lol

I'm not a fan of the CT but do want to test drive one for the hell of it.

6yr old car vs brand new one :-)

people seem to be quite happy from testin CT200h... it handles well and 43MPG aint bad.

20 MPG more and nicer interior than MS3.

I'd like to take a drive in the CT too. A friend is interested since she is not into the latest gen Prius. Picked up the brochure last weekend and expect to go back soon to check it out.

12k miles a year.
285 gallons
500 gallons
215 gallon diff = $817 extra gas money per year for IS250.
3 year lease = ~$2400 extra gas

I'd rather lease an IS.

but for long term ownership, I'd want a more fuel efficient car.

gimme my 350hp 40mpg car already!
