Talking CT Coupe, CT F, Anyone?

POLL TIME

What variants would you like Lexus to make of the CT? BMW has a coupe version of 1 series as we all know, and Audi has an "S" version of the A3. Of course it'd be nice to see both, or perhaps a CT F Coupe

My personal vote is for CT Coupe...

This thread calls for some skilled photochops!!! Although I'm thinking that a CT sedan would look rather like a smaller IS...probably the CT is more of the Prius analogue, a versatile hatchback, which itself may spawn a line of models.

But we already have HS. Why do we need CT sedan?

I agree, which is why I mentioned the Prius as an example...a Prius line is being planned based off the original 4-door hatch design. Any CT sedan would look like a mini IS possibly, thus future CT variants probably would be CT 3-door and maybe CT coupe.

Yeah, CT 3dr sounds like a car for young people. I love the idea, and look forward to seeing that car in the future.

A coupe should definitely be available, although I'm not so sure about an F version. Offering an F version of a hybrid doesn't seem right.

It sure does, if you simply photoshop the regular 5-door CT into a 3-door .

A 3-door CT I would think would have different proportions and dimensions.

That's what I'd like to see, but more specifically a torque vectoring AWD system similar to Audi's and Acura's...

Agreed on both, but not an F-Hybrid. As TRD says, that would be apples and oranges.
