Default What exactly is the CT?

What is it? Looks like a warmed over Toyota Matrix. Is it REALLY a luxury car?

CT does not stand for anything. Closer to Prius than a Matrix.

I remember hearing that the "CT" stood for "Compact Touring".

HS has pretty much nothing to do with Prius, at all.

Sit inside it. It isn't even in the same area code as the Matrix as far as interior quality. The CT is really, really nice for the money.

The CT is far from a "warmed over Matrix". Sit, experience and drive a CT. It blows the Matrix out of the water.

HS has nothing to do with Corolla at all :-). It is Avensis based.
