i still don't really get this vehicle.
anyone else think the triangular metal shape on back if rear door above door handle (D pillar) looks odd?![Uhh...](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/1387914497.gif)

and i still don't get why there's an f-sport version with no bump in power - there's nothing remotely sporty about this entry luxury hybrid hatchback.

It's the drive. It handles sooo well! And the Sport mode makes a real difference! Ask my friends on the NICO forums about how well it did on stock LRR tires at the Tail of the Dragon! I left all the 350Zs behind and kept up with the G35 sedan, Camaro ZL1 and Legacy wagon with STI swap! They couldn't believe it was a hybrid!

nabbun, Trexus, thanks for the feedback. ![Thumb Up](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
i do actually find the CTh interesting, but when i've seen them in person i've found them to be rather low to the ground, and i'm more cuv/suv oriented these days. if it's gonna be low to the ground then it'd better be sporty.![Stick Out Tongue](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/tongue.gif)

been on that many times.

Soon as in a year? OR Later as in 2-3 years? Will there be an EV or plug in variety? I would buy that in a heartbeat since the marketplace lacks a entry luxury sport wagon eve/hev especially here in CA...

well, there will be new CT in 2.5 years from now and turbo wont be on any other cars than NX until late 2014... so i kind of doubt they will add turbo engine for 1.5 years of model cycle.

CT 200h
CT 300h
CT 200t
Audi brought to market a sedan version of their A3. Lexus could do the same thing with a CT hybrid sedan.
I saw the Audi A3 sedan at the LA Auto show and I liked it. I was very disappointed with the Lexus booth at the LA Auto show because they didn't have the RC or the LF-NX displayed there.
