Default CT200H COMING TO NORTH AMERICA... well theoretically...
Lexus CT 200h Coming to North America
Posted by krew on February 26th, 2010

Big news for North America—according to the Lexus Europe Twitter account:

CT 200h will be offered for sale in ALL markets where Lexus is present
While I never had real doubt that the CT would be North America bound, it’s still a relief that there’s been some official verification. This model will do wonders for the Lexus brand in Canada.

That said, it’s possible, even likely, that the worldwide launch will be staggered, with Europe & Japan receiving the first CT shipments. This will be a main point of focus during the Geneva Auto Show, so we’ll be sure to learn more next week.

Most likely since the U.S. is the largest market for Lexus...so far five hybrids:

CT 200h
HS 250h
GS 450h
LS 600h L
RX 450h

What's next? IS h, ES h, SC h, etc.?

So the right passenger gets a constant stream of warm air blowing up his sleeve?

I believe the air stream is angled down or towards the window. It also seems to be at a good-enough distance to not really be blowing into someone's arm or sleeve anyways.

Such an air vent is not a problem on the Prius, so I don't think it would be a problem here.

The CT looks great! Seeing as I was looking to purchase an A3 Quattro in a few years, I think the CT may be my next purchase. I would love to see/purchase a CT400h with a similar AWD as the RX450h and lots of electric grunt. I hope this indicates a trend for the 4GS because the CT just put Lexus back on the right track...

They don't feel anything. Its just an air vent for any circulating air in the car. Its always open and its not an issue. Nothing like an open window in the heat or anything.

Though in this crazy society someone might blame the vent for them accelerating through a wall.

Looks like, but we have no official power figures yet.
