Enjoy!

They conveniently leave out information regarding curb weight of the car. I bet this "fun, nimble, and sporty" car will be slower than the Prius. It's almost like Toyota (Lexus) is back with their "Looks Fast" campaign from the Toyota Celica days with the TRD action package option.

The Black, Ecru, and Caramel are all Nuluxe leather. Basically all the outstanding colors are done in fake leather. Why am I not surprised.
Other than that, I do like the color choices inside and out. Cannot believe there is no blue option. wow.

Mercedes Benz and BMW both have been offering simulated leather (MB Tex, Leatherette) surfaces for many years on their cars, but no one ever complains about it. Lexus is doing it for the first time...but that's not okay? It's an entry level compact luxury hybrid which is going to have a low price point...what more can you ask for? If genuine leather was standard, the car would be too expensive and people will bish and complain about it.

Thats not my point. And people have complained about the use of leatherette in the German cars. Check car chat.
I do not mind that they are using fake leather on this entry level vehicle. Its better than cloth, some people do not mind leatherette, and its a way to keep the price down, but personally I probably wouldnt consider it. Im a fan of the more rare interior colors such as Saddle, Carmel, Ecru, etc. All I am saying is that I am not surprised that they would use those colors for the fake leather. I would love to see Lexus offer those colors again with the real leather in the future or at least make it an option for those who want to pay for it (across the model range).
As it stands now for the CT, black and gray are the only color options available in the real leather.

I'm sure more color choices in real leather will be offered if there is demand. Besides, the water gray leather looks great, not sure what the complaint here is.
Considering this is an entry-level luxury car, it's impressive that they are even offering two color choices for real leather.
With that said, I am impressed by the interior and exterior colors offered. The yellow exterior color looks great, as does the red.
The interior color options also look very good.
