It seems like most of the F-Sports we've seen (even some stock photos) don't have a moonroof :( It would be great to see a small CUV like this with a pano roof!

...why? Why would you put a 170hp microcrossover through a world-renowned course/track event?
There was the 210 PS 2.0l Biturbo Diesel Ford Ranger Raptor. Also Rolls Royce Cullinan. GFOS is a marketing event, as much as any other car event nowadays. Toyota/Lexus use the SEMA show for marketing too. Nothing wrong with that finally. There is nothing really dishonest about it.

Yay! Finally a thread where I disagree with everyone! :D

This is, above everything else, a marketing stunt. It is all about showing the new model, and Lexus is far from the first to show a non-performance model premiering at Goodwood.
I think showing it there is a good choice because it shows confidence in the driving dynamics. Lexus would not go near Goodwood with a model that couldn't take the corners properly.

It is important to show the UX as being a worthy successor for the CT. Remember that the CT was initially branded as a better looking Prius with improved interior and driving dynamics at the cost of the higher price, slightly lower fuel efficiency and less versatility. I remember this fondly since I was one of those who traded a Prius for a CT. I know that the UX doesn't outright replace the CT in all markets, but with the CT remaining the same as in 2011, it is a hard sell for anyone who wants to trade an old CT in.


And why would I trade my CT in for a new one? My old one is just as fuel efficient, completely reliable and otherwise the same. If the UX can offer an upscale interior, improved versatility, equal fuel economy and no disadvantage in driving dynamics, then it would be a better replacement candidate. We already know the interior is amazing for its class. The only outstanding question is driving dynamics.
The UX might not be the successor of the CT as they are different segment cards and the hatchback is still an important one in Europe. I hope we can see a new CT with better engine options.

lets hope it looks good real life, like everyone mentioned. I like interior a lot.

Love the color. Actually looks great front and back (finally warmed up to the connected taillights). Still hate the huge chunks of cheap plastic side cladding though.

This is great !! Looks awesome in that color ! Lexus is doing it again , nice place to premier it . Goodwood helps the brand to stay current since the GS is not sold there anymore , or will not be sold in the future. Good move on there part Europeans like smaller cars and SUVs . This will sell like hot cakes in winter .

C-HR is selling like crazy worldwide, its sales are up almost 20%, despite huge drop of sales, so if UX looks good in real life, it will sell well.
