I don't see the rear wiper but I would not be surprised to see production models get them depending on packaging. Given that the Geneva show floor model contains some high-value items (ML audio) but not others (passenger memory seats) the options could be changed based on the allocations etc.

Considering the window isn't that tall it would be tiny anyway no?

Or maybe they left it off since its at a car show.

I caught it in the other thread, it looks like it does indeed lack a rear wiper. Hopefully that's not the case when the car goes on sale, as given the design of the rear it definitely needs a wiper there.

The wiper could be hidden... I hope.



All were missing is a Scion iQ version for Lexus. Which would probably be the CCh Oh yah Toyota does have a luxury iQ but its only for Aston Martin owners lol which goes for $34k USD

Ah so we found the wiper . It is a bit strange it's not hidden, but I guess only the Toyota/Lexus Minivans/SUVs so far get hidden wipers. Still odd they wouldn't integrate it with the rear spoiler.

Hybrid grill

chrome strip on the door sill

I wouldn't go that far.

I think the hybrid grille is still a work-in-progress and the design will continue to evolve.

The chrome strip is not a big deal, this car is meant to be a bit more sporty than luxury.

As for rear wiper, not a big deal. None of the Lexus cars actually have rear wipers, only Lexus SUVs do.

Since this is the first Lexus hatch, no real "formula" to follow.

pavelekPL great work! As I stated they probably left it off for showcar purposes.

Somehow these computer generated images of the CT make it look a bit better. Can't quite figure out why though. Maybe they are slightly stretched? Even this image, the rims look better...
