Lexus CT 200h pricing



What do you think guys? Interior looks pretty smart. 100kW only is a -ve.

[Pepe]

Better pricing than I thought they'd do... it's really just a Prius though, hence the 100kw. Looks a bit too Corolla for my liking.

[Spyda]

Looks like a Mazda.

Rear end reminds me of the Stavic

[tessie]

....like the interior shot, otherwise its just another boring looking mazda-rish japanese car.

[brimway]

Uninspiring, unexciting and butt ugly

[Speed]

So prestige is $39,990, Luxury is $48,990 and Sport luxury is $55,990 + $1,500 for "sports bumpers".

Waste of money if you ask me. I'd much rather a Golf or A4.

Also, Is it just me or is there no tacho in this chopped version of a Camry?

Biggest complaint I had with this car was the boot size.
It was first on my list when I started shopping. I am replacing an (old) Lexus, and I wanted the reliability thing from toyota and the price this has to offer.
But really, you would struggle to fit two full sized suitcases without folding the seats down.
To me this is an absolute limit when buying a car. - I am hoping the Golf 118TSI can fit them else I am back to the drawing board

Apart from that it was a nice car.
Bit sluggish in the base model that I drove, but I can only assume good fuel economy and everything was nice.
The ipod connector was a major after thought. Doesn't worry me as I don't have an ipod.

All up they have tried to price this against the Golf 118TSI, but really if you want any real comfort/performance your stepping up to Audi A3 price range, and I would pick the A3 over both the Golf and Lexus if I could justify dropping that much on a car I use on weekends.

Shocking performance but I do like the idea..

What Lexus are you replacing with a Golf or A3?

I am not a fan of this Ct 200h either...(base care at no deposit $179 a week, 12mths rego, insurance and 4 years servicing over a 4yr term with a $20k balloon after that.)

Indeed, they were at the F1 in Melb. The most exciting thing was seeing the LFA on display next to them!
