I have to say that the CT looks great in those shots. I bet it will look better on the road than in photos.

As we can see cruising range says 462Km (288 Miles) on 3/4 of a tank. If car was driven normally we can suspect that full range is around 615Km (385 Miles). We don't know the size of the gas tank but lets take '10 Prius's tank for reference of 45 liters (12 Gallons).
If my math is right fuel consumption comes around 7.5l/km or 32MPG for this particular car in the movie.

*Well if we do adjustment for Euro fuel consumption test and divide 7.5l/km by 1.3 (which is usually right quote for comapring EPA and Euro test cycles) we get 5.5l/Km (42mpg) which is about right considering RX450h is rated at 6.5l/km (36mpg) and LS600h at 9.3l/Km (25mpg) in EU.

32 mpg is terrible for this car I was hoping for far more... hopefully, since it's in sports mode (the red lights), they were ragging the car out and this is on the lower end of the mpg.

agree, shouldn't weigh this one that much. cars in commercial shoot, very often they could be running for hours but just sitting idel, and tons of stop and go as well as gunning (in this video, well, if that's called gunning).

That was awesome

Car looks good in some shots and in some for me, the front end has a HSish look which I am not too fond about.

Check out the wheel gap on this particular picture. Almost makes it look like a RX. Now, only if it was as nimble and quick as they make it out to be; unfortunately, looks and speed probably doesn't align here.
