Something is seriously wrong with the first photo above. The wheels are far too small for the body of the car. The real thing does not look like that, or at least not as bad. I wonder what happened there.

Update on the sales of the 1CT:

2011 - 14,381
2012 - 17,673
2013 - 15,071
2014 - 17,673
2015 - 14,657
2016 - 6,821 As of September
Total = 86,276

So for 2016 Lexus could sell at least 6,821/9 X 12 = 9,095. With the December to Remember sales of the CT could reach 9,100 for 2016.

I look forward to the 2CT...Lexus please bring us:

CT 200h or CT 250h
CT 200t
CT 300h

Agreed, something is off with that photo. Not to mention those black wheels are totally awful.

Perhaps (?) Lexus intentionally used smaller wheels and tires for lower rolling-resistance. Small hybrids like the CT are generally not designed for high handling/skidpad numbers, but for gas mileage and economy, and small tires usually help in that regard.
