I saw one of these cars behind me in the left lane. I swear if it was 2" lower I would've thought it's the new IS-F, which makes the front end definitely nicer than the IS x50. The back leaves a bit to be desired, but man, is this one nice looking car. Makes me want to trade in my Prius.

Just wanted to stop by to say that to all you lucky owners. Thanks!

 

Thanks! I love my ride!

 

the backside of the car grows on you i guess. i think it looks nice now. but the bark is much louder than the bite. all show and no go.

 

Thanks! I love my ride too...

 

I think we need a CT300h or CTF

 

Most likely a CT 300h might come around using drivetrain from the upcoming ES 300h which would most likely be a 2.5 liter four cylinder gas engine mated to an electric motor. Definitely would like to see that Lexus...

CT 200h
CT 300h (ftw)

CT F (in our dreams)

 

I'm also waiting for a GS-F to compete with the M5, but now we're getting off topic.

 

I agree...the front end looks great! My parents are contemplating getting a new car. My mom wants a Prius to save gas, my dad wants another Beamer (135i) because its luxurious and fun to drive. I told them to meet halfway (not really) and get a CT200h.

 

Only saw this thread because it was on the front page.

Are you guys serious?

LOL!

 

Looks are subjective, but if it wasn't for the IS F...the CT would have never gotten the front bumper accents that flow from the upper fascia of the car.

 

Its pretty close. When I first saw a CT, I figured it was some sort of IS wagon/hatch. The family resemblance of the front end is quite close for two completely different models.

 

The head-on pic of the CT200h doesn't do the angles justice. I'd be as bold to say the CT200h's headlights and front lip are more aggressively styled. The only thing I like better on the IS-F is the grill and fogs.





I'm not trying to jones for the CT here. It was just an observation.

 

the CT front is more futuristic in my eyes

 

how about with custom carbon fiber lips? looks great to me!

 

No matter how you look at it you will never be able to make the IS look as sinister as this:



Different angles and different colours seem to bring out different personalities with this car, it's quite well designed.
