Video

Screens:



Judging by internet reaction to this car as a whole, not to mention comments in that video and virtually every CT review video, you'd think this was the next Pontiac Aztek. But I think it looks pretty good, even in that color (sure the wheels could be fancier but those can always be changed). Anyone else agree or disagree?

Edit: For the record it also looks nothing like the Toyota Matrix, not sure why people keep referring to it as similar.



I mean there is not one design element on them that looks similar, not the stance, not the rake of the windshield, not even the door handles.

Ever since the new BMW 1 series debuted, the CT has become a sort off beauty queen.

I never had an issue with the looks. Its not jaw dropping but it isn't bland or ugly. They did a great job.. I love the F-sport and can't wait to see more modified. Larger wheels and a drop do wonders

Not too bad but not for me.
Don't like the color.
The CT is too small-too slow.

I like it too. For a compact high mileage competitor (insight, prius etc...) it's probably the best looking one IMO. Then again, it is more expensive also. Definitely not ugly. It's more of a slightly aggressive look for a hybrid, especially the front end design. It reminds me slightly of the recent WRX hatchbacks, but with a Lexus look to it

Its on my list of test drives when searching for a functional car that can cart some luggage, my wife, myself and my 100lb dog comfortably and still get good gas mileage.
