The car is really not picture worthy just yet as it's covered in blue tape and bugs right now but thought I'd post here since we took delivery on 5/5/12:
1. CT premium
2. NAVI
3. Tungsten Pearl Silver
4. Premium Audio, F-sport, Illuminated Door Sills, HDD NAVI
5. F-Sport? Yes
6. YES, way too many to list but starting with clear bra, tint, V1 stealth radar, CF roof wrap, BC coils, Volk Rims
7. Prius - we were looking for a 40+ mpg commuter for my wife
This car didn't replace any car in our household and was a necessity vehicle with the longer commutes and rising gas prices. We have 5 cars in our garage but none of them are fuel efficient
Sidenote: Coming from an IS-F (Lexus's only true F model so far), I found myself actually liking this car. Of course this car cannot be compared to any performance sedan but the seats are amazing and it handles quite well on mountain curvy roads provided you build enough momentum. Uphill this car seriously lacks low end grunt though but for what it's advertised to do I'm happy. Only gripe so far is that it only has ONE 12 volt jack!

1. Premium Trim
2. Nav
3. Nebula Gray Pearl / Black Nuluxe
4. Premium Audio
5. F-sport - no (seemed like a lot to pay for badging/logos?!)
6. Just a bike rack so far
7. replace a honda CR-V, had it down to a new CRV, prius V and the CT - as discussed extensively elsewhere in this forum, a no brainer in the end...

Purchased mine at the end of May to replace a 2007 RX350.
I had to make alot of compromises to get it off a dealers lot but I am very happy with my decision. It is a tungsten pearl F Sport Special Edition with Nav. I have added LED interior and license plate lights, an F Sport badge on the trunk, tinted the windows, 5000k HID low beams, front parking sensors, bamboo dash panel, tungsten pearl grill surround, shark-fin antenna, graphite Trident wheels with snow tires and black lugs for the winter, illuminated door sills, 3M paint protection film and lots of wax. I will add HID fog lights when I'm sure the low beams work 100% of the time. I also considered buying a IS250 convertible or even a Hyundai Veloster turbo when it comes out this summer. Except for the power the CT200 is simular to driving a John Cooper Works Mini Cooper convertible I got rid of two years ago. I already got stopped for speeding in the CT!

Hey all
Got my CT back in May and I just wanted to join in on the discussions:
Basics
1. CT base
2. No Nav
3. Obisidian Exterior with Black Nu Luxe Embossed Trim Interior
4. No Options/Option Packages
5. No F-Sport
6. Planning to get 19" rims
7. Replacing my '01 Corolla LE
My requirements for getting a new car was that it had to be a hybrid and had great interiors at base level. This car pretty much fulfilled the requirements. I got my windows tinted at G5 Tint shop in Alhambra and thought they did a great job.
