Pretty exciting, wonder if they might offer the CT in something other than a hybrid?

The wifey really loved the CT200h F-Sport when she saw one coming out of a restaurant. White with 19" wheels (volks), tinted and best of stanced, mild drop (lowered for you old people jk! =p). We went to Lexus dealership later to get deal done but they are all Front-Wheel Drive. She was really bummed. Disappointed.

I think the Next Generation CT should be offered in AWD.

 

[Alshamsi]

Please lexus, We want it 200t with AWD ....

My guess is the CT will continue as a better than Prius hybrid. And to me it should continue in that mode, because current CT is significantly more sporty, luxurious, better equipped, more driver-oriented than current Prius. Agreed, AWD would be a nice option not available on Prius.

Looking forward to the next CT in a year or so from now as it may be my next car to appease fuel costs of my 45 km city driving commute.

As far as I am aware the next generation is not due until 2019 making it an eight year cycle.

TMC moved engineering resources onto the upcoming CX model as that is considered a priority.

please make the rear doors bigger.

I assume 50 MPG is the target

I sure hope so. Lexus should expand the CT line and add a CT 200t. As of current the CT shares the same power train as the Prius (other than the Corolla (shares the 1.8 L petrol motor)). Since there is no petrol version of the Prius Lexus might not produce a petrol version of the CT. However if Lexus expands the CT line by adding a CT 200t more people will be very interested in the CT line...

 

[Trexus]

please make the rear doors bigger.

Also add rear cupholders as well...sometimes I get tired of holding my cup so my passengers can use the very few cupholder the CT has.

 

[GSCT]

I hope so - we are looking to replace our CT some time in the next few years and it would be great to get another!

Do you mean TX?

The key to making the next gen CT successful is:
Add more engine variants (200t)
Add AWD
Make it RWD (which can be a long shot)
Make the interior more upscale, including the exterior, it needs to show that it isn't a cheap Lexus
F badged anyone? Max out the 2.0l turbo to make north of 300 hp would be a pretty exciting CT

Unlikely w/existence of the NX

Why do I agree with you?

The CX is a sub NX SUV that is due for release late 17 or early 18 and compete with X1, Q3 etc.

I am not sure when the 7 seat RX (TX) is due to be released. I have heard several conflicting reports regarding its existence and if/when it will be released.
