TBH, I don't think Lexus dealers miss them as much lol

Yeah, but it's not my job to sell them. I'm just a hatchback admirer. :kissing_heart:

My dad got a CT loaner for a day when the RX was serviced and I got a ride (didn't drive since I couldn't), it felt very Priusy but with a nicer wrapper. Yeah hb's are cooler to look at than a sedan (HS for example), but I get it, with how much car sales have declined this year, the CT was the easiest one to say goodbye to.Yeah, but it's not my job to sell them.

I always thought the HS we had was frumpy to look at, and the sales reflected its acceptance in the marketplace. Between the two, the CT is easier to look at, but that's just me, and I'm sure your HS has given nothing but trouble free driving like all Lexuses (sorry as an enthusiast, its not as exciting as a F model).The current CT was at the end of it's model cycle (7 years) so it's sales will definitely decline just like any other car at the end of it's model cycle. Just like the current LS, it's sales have been declining as well. The CT (2018) still lives on outside North America and maybe one day it will come back with a vengeance...I'm still thinking CT 250h, CT 300h or CT 300...
I have an HS, not sure why it was used as an example as not cooler to look at than a CT...

But yeah, the CT is at the end of its cycle, and perfect timing, its going to be replaced by a crossover here. It has been on the market as long as the GX (Wow you own all of them!) but of course, we know the cycle of trucks are longer than cars, but it sort of feels unbelievable that it is selling so well for an 'old' platform.
For other markets, there's still a good chance that a second gen CT would come, but I think it depends on the market in Europe: If their market goes full retard SUV/crossover, then perhaps the UX will succeed its place in the lineup.
You need to understand that I can be critical but also understanding, so you shouldn't feel offended at all because I never PUT down your ownership of either car. I've been on CL but don't go on there much anymore other than the Chat page because I like all cars and not just ones sold by the Big L or T. I'm not bashing Lexus, we've got 2 in my family (my folks are near retirement), with the recent a 2017 ESh that I was appalled that my dad bought it when I was out of town for work.One must understand the HS or CT wasn't designed to be an F model. No the CT can't go as fast or faster than the LFA and no the CT doesn't have as much or more room than the LX. Once that is understood that's half the battle. I for one understand what the CT and HS is and I'm not going to go into all the details of what the CT and HS is designed for. The HS is currently sold in Japan and has the current spindle grill and looks amazing...
Please don't turn LE into ClubLexus where most of it's members don't even own a Lexus and post negatively and bash Lexus. Do you even own a Lexus?
The UX and CT can coexist. Just look at BMW, there's tons of overlap between the X1, 3 Series wagon and 3 Series GT...I could on and on with other luxury makes as well. You'll probably knock down the UX since it will be based off the Toyota CH-R and you probably won't drive it because it will feel CH-Rsy but with a nice wrapper. Please, if you're not happy with Lexus please don't come here and knock down the lower level Lexus models go to ClubLexus and bash and make all the negative comments about Lexus all you want. You're negative statements of certain Lexus models is borderline offending me.
