I think only a handful of you think the LF-Ch looks like an RX based on the photos that were released last month. Specifically how the rear gate and taillights are placed. They're not alike.

The butt of the RX and LF-Ch look more alike than the butt of the IS and IS-C, which as we know the IS and IS-C are of the same line. I would have preferred if a version of the concept taillights were preserved, since that would have been a new more aggressive look for Lexus.

There's really not much deviation from the concept taillights to the photos we see now. The rear quarter lamps retain the same shape. The liftgate mounted ones are different. That's just a small departure that may be a deal breaker for some, but not for me.

Not bad so far. Looks pretty aggressive. I like that. One thing that old survey asked was about wheel fitment and stance. Hopefully they came through with that. That'll be big if they did.

Nope. Scion tC shares its platform and 2700mm wheelbase with the Prius, Avensis and Lexus HS.
Lexus LF-Ch (and, presumably, the production Lexus CT) sit on a 2600mm wheelbase, just like Corolla and Matrix.
Now, before everyone starts freaking out and saying that Lexus CT will be just a rebodied Corolla, keep in mind that Toyota platforms are VERY flexible. It's NOT just a matter of adding sound insulation and slapping some Lexus badges on a Matrix. The Lexus HS, though sharing the Prius platform, has a much more sophisticated double-wishbone independent rear suspension than the Prius' torsion beam live axle. And HS received seven significant powertrain upgrades versus the Camry Hybrid. (For more on the subject, see http://my.is/forums/f41/lexus-hs-syb...-world-391268/ ). Expect even greater differentiation between CT and Matrix.

The back and the front of the car look veeeery similar to RX450h in these "spy shots"! i don't like that 
well, we have to wait a few more weeks and hopefully more "official" photos of the car will come out
..right ??
