"Darker side of Green" I like the name..

Hopefully, BMW does not upstage the Lexus event again in NY like they did last year by having the ///M Power Tour @ the same venue..

Thanks Ryan again!

Will more cities be announced?

Highly unlikely.

Notice the path they're following: From Toronto to nearby Chicago, then southeast to New York City, then down the coast to Miami, then a semi-straight shot west to Los Angeles. From there, it's over the Pacific to Australia and then maybe up to Japan.

Granted, it wouldn't be much of a detour to work in a "just for 1SICKLEX" stop in Atlanta between New York and Miami , and I'm similarly surprised that a Texas stop between Miami and L.A. isn't in the cards, but it is what it is...

LexFather

Thanks for the update. At this rate I might need to move closer to Miami, they get tons of Lexus love

Since this is being hosted by Lexus USA, Ryan, then can we assume it will also be marketed in the U.S., too, not just Canada? The CT, of course, is a relatively small hatchback, and some luxury-car manufacturers have been reluctant to market their smaller hatchback models here. Audi did (finally) bring the A3 over, but Mercedes, BMW, and others did at one time and then dropped them.

If/when it's released here on the East Coast, I'll look at it and review it, not only for others, but as a possible (though not likely) purchase myself.

Yes, Lexus has officially stated that CT 200h will be sold in the U.S.

Lexus has finally released the (almost) full itinerary for the U.S. portion of the CT 200h World Preview Tour. Still to come (as of now): a location for a probable Thursday 9 September stop in New York City, plus likely additional stops at "trendy, hip and happening" nightspots in each of the four cities.

only 4 cities? SMH

and what's with lexus doing Miami instead of Orlando? i'd bet Orlando would bring a bigger crowd as it's central in the state and can bring people from many places. Miami, fuggedaboutit.

GFerg

Anyone in the tri-state area going to this today? I was originally planning on going, but decided against it.

LexFather

I drove to Miami for the LFA. I have no inclination to drive to Miami for the CT. Or fly

Lil4X

Except for Chicago, flyover country has been totally ignored, ditto the PNW. Now the Denver-Dallas-Houston axis should have some representation, considering their sales volume, but missing Portland-Seattle (Vancouver) is just criminal. Where do they think all the greenies live?

jruhi4

I definitely agree with you.
