I really want one of these. I have been checking the local dealers in my area to see when they are getting one in. They have no idea. Can't wait to see these in person. I'm sold on them with the new look of the headlights and the spindle grill.

You Won't Be Disappointed. I Went From An 07 IS250 AWD ToThis. It Handles Better Than The IS250.

I agree with nabbun. I went from a 1996 ES 300 to the CT and love it...

If I get one I'm going to make sure it's everything I want and not just something to replace. I'm kind of picky when it comes to my cars. I think I'll wait til the 2014 comes. Unless I can get a smoking good deal on a 2012 or 2013. Thanks for the advice. I have been considering just upgrading to a 2011-2012 IS350. And having a faster car. But can't decide if I want the speed or if I want the gas mileage. It's the one thing I'm trying to decide on.

One thing to consider with all those model years at least for me, is the technology specifically the navigation system. 2010-2012 is all the same. 2013 is it's own and 2014 is it's own. Thankfully with 2010+ they come with bluetooth audio streaming, but voice command is much improved and streamlined with 2013+ models

**disclaimer. Only the 2014 CT, GX and IS all use the same 2014 navi. 2014 of every other model still uses the 2013 system.

I think I have luxury features hesitation. I have a lot of features that I use on a regular day basis. I like in Phoenix and the new 2014 with Nuluxe Interior Seats doesn't have "seat Coolers" when it's 90+ degrees outside those seat coolers are amazing.

I'm trying to get over having some of these features that the my new/next car might not have.

Redline Red! Brilliant color, cannot wait till it hits the IS.

Nice updates to the CT. Shame they didn't boost the F-Sport by 10hp via the electric motor. Was a good opportunity

I was diggin the new Red as well. Im torn between the White and Blue. I have always wanted a white vehicle especially with the Black Roof ( Siiiiiiccck). But they Blue with the black roof is also sexy. I think i want this interior though.

Hey CL members that have gone from touchscreen NAV to the new style with the mouse and stuff. Is it/was it hard to get used to? Do you wish that you could have the touchscreen or do you like the new style with the mouse that you move around? I'm nervous about upgrading to the new Lexus vehicles cause of this feature. A little feedback would be helpful.

Thanks in advance.

the CT is my first lexus with the mouse control. i have to be honest and say that i wasn't thrilled about the change, but it doesnt take a long time to get used to. i think it's slower response time than touchscreen and takes forever to enter an address.

i really don't use it much though and thankfully you can control virtually everything else with physical buttons for audio and climate control.

i was in a loaner ES350 recently and really hate the newer mouse without the Enter buttons on the sides. you just press down to select, and i found that was not very natural feeling after coming from the 2011 CT version. i also don't like the new nav/infotainment software and radio setup with 6 pages of presets. the new 2014 CT will have these new changes.

i much rather prefer the old touchscreen days, but i suppose the complaints about fingerprints were getting to lexus

The rear window on the 2011-13 models is a magnet for dirt, slush, snow, etc. I wonder if the larger spoiler with air cut outs on the 2014 F Sport will keep the rear window clean(er)?

I love the 2013's mouse with enter buttons on the side. The 2013's GS has the mouse controller that's also the enter button and it drives me insane! I'm always pressing the mouse to hit enter but then I end up choosing something else because the mouse moves to the sides when it's being pressed. Infuriating!
