Default Goodbye to my ISx50 family...

Just traded in my 2011 IS350 FSport for a 2013 CT200h FSport. Why the change? Cause i averaged 50+mpg on my commute home, dropped my payment $70/mo, and dropped my insurance payment as well.

Its a comfortable car.. Sure i gave up 200hp, but in the end, it was the best practical decision.

Ryan, at least you're still in the Lexus familia! The Ct is a great choice. I love the look.
