Default Rumors for 2014 CT?

I know 2013 only just started, but does anyone have any insider "secrets" about the 2014 CT?

Perhaps more standard options? MPG increase?

Figured if anywhere, this would be the best place to ask.

It may have minor interior and exterior changes, possibly some changes to some of the packages. But i highly highly doubt you will get any MPG increase, at least not in this life cycle.

Im guessing the next gen CT wont e due till around 2016-2017 then. Long time .

Hoovey you want a "full" spindle with the chrome going all the way around such as in the LS/ES? Because the spindle is already the same as the GS, in that the chrome ends before the midline.

I'm fairly certain the 2014 will cost more than the 2013.

Default Spindle Grill

Totally agree, i'd like to see them plop the new grill style into the front of this car, much like they did with the refresh on the RX line. i think it would look great and be a nice refresh that won't cost much money for them to do. Im thinking they won't do anything else for the most part, but that would be great to keep the car in line with the rest of the models.

edit: in regards to the fact that the grill really isnt too far off from the GS as pointed out, im thinking i'd like a FULL spindle with the sharper corners, not what it has now.

maybe the fuel gauge will give an accurate reading and the mpg indicator won't lie.

I'm well aware the GS and CT have half a**ed spindles (work at a Lexus dealer). A full spindle will look much more aggressive

I actually like the semi spindle that the CT and GS wear. If 2014 yields a full chrome spindle for the CT, I'll be reminiscing about the good ol' days of 2011-2013

Default 2014 CT200h

Hi All,

I currently have an 08 IS250 AWD. I love my lexus. My fiance has a Scion tC and once we get married (in May) I want to upgrade her to a CT200h, but I don't want to get her a 2013 CT200h and then have the 2014 be a redesign.

What do you guys think? Do you think that the 2014 will have any major revisions? Her tC is paid off so we can wait if we had to.

Thanks for any feedback.

doubt the 2014 would have major revisions - it will also be a little less than a year since the 2013 just came out. Most lexus' don't go with a redesign until at least 5+ years

2014 will be a mid life refresh ... most likely gaining full spindle grille.

The reason that link is pointing to the same thread as this one is because chekmi21 started a thred which was very similar. I posted a link to show him a discussion has already begun so that he could get more info.

Threads were merged.

SHAZAM! Lol jk.
