150 HP for 2016 CT ?
Car and Driver (http://blog.caranddriver.com/purport...otos-leak-out/) has reported on a rumour the new Prius - likely the source of the new CT's power train - will have 145 to 150 hp, so the 2016 CT should too. If the car doesn't weight any more (it may weigh even less), it will be somewhat faster and get better mileage. Well, I'm hopeful anyway.

Damn that thing is so ugly. I can live with the front end but the rear is just bad! Glad we bought the current gen Prius. Anything with more HP is better and Toyota can do better than that. They can launch a 1000 HP hybrid if they wanted to. I think the electric motor should be the primary driver and the gas motor as the aid or just to recharge the electric when needed, not the other way around like it is now. Stop restricting those horses!

I think they sell current CT and some Toyota models with current hybrid system for few years before new model, as there's plenty of manufacturing capacity for this powerline when 3rd gen Prius is phased out.

Hey does the CT has the same engine as the old HS model? The CT is the replacement of the HS right?
Nevermind... The HS has 2.4L with 187 HP. Damn this thing hauls ***! Should've used this engine in the CT.

You must be talking about another vehicle. My CT has a very nice interior (that central console looks niiiiiiiiiiiiice), it's pretty silent for it's class and even if it's not super fast it reacts very well.
I don't know the HS as it was never sold here in Switzerland. But from what I understand it has the 300h powertrain? Which is nice but without regenerative braking and much worse MPG (I get 40-50 MPGs with my CT)
On top of that, even with only 136hp, the CT is a fun car to drive around town or twisty roads thanks to the rear multi link suspension.
I paid something like 15k $ for my 2011 with 70k miles on it with one year warranty, backup camera, sat nav and premium sound

The HS actually uses the older 2.4L I4 and hybrid setup for 187hp. The ESh uses the newer 2.5L I4 hybrid (200hp) found in the Camry, Avalon and NXh (194hp). It did have regnerative braking, but the car got 35 city 34 highway and weighed roughly 3,682lbs. It did offer awesome features like a HUD and LKA that even the ES and GS didn't offer at the time, but overall it never received the love it needed. It is still sold in Japan with a nice full spindle and interior revisions such as matte bamboo trim.
CT is a bit of a dog in a straight line, but since it's more of a city/suburban dweller it does excel at mileage, utility and is engaging in the corners for spirited driving. Honed in Europe .

Yes the CT is a dog in a straight line but a Boss in traffic. That's why I have my GS to feed my power hunger when needed.
