thanks for the pics, is it only me or does this look longer than C-HR? Are we sure it is a Lexus?
Not enough photos and angles to determine that is a Toyota prototype. Camouflage doesn't look like what Toyota usually uses, and rims look like production rims, but not a typical Toyota design.
You're right, it looks just like the next-gen CR-V:Well, in this one photo, I can see it's the next Honda CRV, in remembering recent spy shots I saw either in April or early May. It's definitely far from a Lexus. At this point, the next RAV4 might be coming along, but it wouldn't be testing so soon.

This is looks like the Scion IM replacement.View attachment 1753 View attachment 1754 View attachment 1755 View attachment 1756 View attachment 1757 View attachment 1758 View attachment 1759 I don't think It's going to be cancelled. These photos show a mule on european roads. The mule is a current Toyota Auris with a front from the new Prius. As with the current CT the next one will most likely share the same hybrid system as the new Prius, that's why a Prius front on the mule makes sense.
Yep. They are the same car. European Toyota Auris became US Scion iM.This is looks like the Scion IM replacement.
Following that logic the other old-platform models, such as Toyota Corolla, Auris, Avensis, Prius+/Prius V, etc. will be cancelled as well. For all we know, the models (including the CT200h) are on track to move to TNGA. With the styling of the last Prius it only makes sense to offer a Lexus-styled alternative.I don't think the LEXUS CT will be renewed. It shares the same platform as the SCION tC, and the tC is going "bye-bye" as a final 2017 model as well if I remember correctly, with the death of SCION. Both are built on the old platform, so for cost reasons I don't see TOYOTA/LEXUS continuing the CT as it might not be "Cost Effective" since neither are on the newer TNGA and GA-L platforms that they are switching to.
