Lexus CT 200 H Teased Ahead of Geneva Debut

Read my post below, please.

Its powertrain is based on that of the Prius. The Prius was recalled for brake issues. I think you're trying a little too hard to hate on Toyota here.

Well, certaintly its on the other way, citroen tried withDS to be as lexus is for toyota. Even though is not the same since Lexus is a brand, and DS should, but in fact is a more "refined" or stylized variant that has the citroen bagde on the front. Moreover DS3 and C3 have almost same interior, that from my point of view is one of the nicest

Toyota clearly has a problem, especially in America where its quality has slipped as volumes have boomed, never mind the media exaggerations and safety frenzy. It has grown too big too fast. It has tried to cut costs while maintaining standards, never easy. It could become the new General Motors. Yet this one is different. You buy a Toyota for its quality. There is no other reason. Toyotas are not fun to drive. They do not give you that warm glow of ownership satisfaction. A Honda or a Volkswagen can be a pet. A Toyota is always an appliance. You buy it because it works, and works very well. And it keeps working. Toyota will lose some of the faithful customers. We?re looking at some kind of GM style downward spiral. The problem with Toyota and Lexus was that it cars were rubbish. Dull and unworthy. I hate Toyota arrogance of not admitting that Luxury Export United States or LEXUS is essentially a glorified Toyota. They seriously should learn to make cars like the VW Group.

VWs and Audis are the dullest cars I've ever been in, or at least just as dull as Toyotas are. They aren't even any more fun to drive than Toyotas are. But to be honest, I still like them all. They might be dull on the outside and/or the inside, but they are still very nice cars. If you want to know what a crappy car is like, get in to a Chevrolet Nubira/Lacetti. They get you around, but that's it. My dad got my mom one of those in 2004. It still has some Daewoo badges in it. It's horrible. It came with a cassette player for gods sake! Took me days to rip it off and replace it with a Pioneer mp3 player. I'm pretty sure you've never even been in a VW or an Audi. If you really want a car that is nice and fun to drive, I'd say get a BMW. Yes, the current models aren't that pretty, but the ride in a BMW is just such a perfect blend of comfort and sportiness that I've never felt in any other car.

@nederina, which magazine are you an editor of?

nederin a, with your stupidest viewpoint i've ever read, that's why you are the so-called "editor" of car magazine (??) that's never published to the public...for "special subscribers" only? special like special olympic? you've definitely gave us some good laugh...i mean, laugh at you! actually, i think you are one of those stupid kid that still living at mom's basement & wet your pants by just looking at audi cars photos...but actually, you never driven one. or even sit in it. come on, please keep comment & make us laugh!!

clearly you are acting like a kid, it is just so happen i have the best job in the world.

LOL... nederina. in your dream. best job of the world? this statement can show how naive you actually are! there are lots of great jobs out there, i don't think you've scored the BEST one. plus, it's in your imagination... i won't say i've got BEST job in the world, i won't say i'm the RICHEST man in the world, i won't say i've own the FASTEST car in the world... so, please, the more you talk, the more it shows you're ONE of the stupidest person in the world. btw, the more comments you posted, the more it shows you're DEFINITELY not an editor or ANY so-call car magazine.

VW Group at least gave each of its cars a personality, brand, emotion with passion or individuality. Toyota just produces clones with cutting costs and greed with profit margins. It is something they can't get away from it. Here's an interesting article I found: http://www.newsweek.com/id/233370/page/1

Umm, nederina, what are you talking about? If you look at VW and Audi models, they are all exactly the same, just a different size. Talk about copying. Toyota at least makes cars that look a little different from each other. And talking about growing too fast, Toyota has been around for ages, growing steadily. Perhaps its a bit new to the US market, and has grown more rapidly there. But in the rest of the world, it has been one of the best selling car makers for decades.

Lexus is positioned against Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Jaguar and Audi. The air is thin up there.

The thing is that VW, Audi, Seat and Skoda are all pretty much separate car manufacturers, only owned by VW. They have been founded as independent car companies, that have originally had nothing to do with each other. VW has just bought the companies and they share some of their platforms and parts to cut costs and make everything more profitable. But they are all different. Lexus was founded by Toyota to be its premium model range in the US. It's basically the same company. So why are you complaining? The whole point of Lexus is to make similar cars to what Toyota makes, just make them a little more prestigious.

you obviously haven't driven many cars but your mother's car. grow up! click my profile and see what kinda cars i drive

Mmm... Nederina, it's MORE than just put a Lexus badge & called it Lexus. please stop your mom's basement imagination & step out to the real world. you're like a caveman if you make a statement like that.

Givew me a break and go get your bmw-1 worst ever luxury hatchback in history !Why you bother making double-triplle posts on this car ? Jealous????

yes you got that right
