Eh forget this, I'd rather they focus on depth (options, features, powertrains), and moving upmarket. Lexus doesn't need some tiny raised CT to increase sales, look where they are in 4 short years nearly back on top with a smaller number of models than the German competition

VX would be good, but I always reserved it for a Venza version on the Lexus side.
Maybe HX could be a possible candidate similar to the HS sedan. I would also assume this smaller CUV would be a hybrid...HX 200h...
Imagine Lexus SUV lineup:
HX
NX
RX
TX
GX
LX
Starting to remind me of the Toyota side with all it's SUV's:
RAV4
Highlander
FJ Cruiser
4Runner
Landcruiser
Sequoia

So we will certainly see not only this but also next get CTh sedan as well. They are all coming on new platform so I bet it was engineered to have a Lexus model.
Quite possibly they might offer a model smaller than CT.
This is all worldwide... They might not offer them in the US, then everyone will complain about why not offering them in US :-)

Not in the US... but in Europe, China and Japan, they do need this because as the article says, in Europe, 60% of luxury brand sales are in areas where Lexus has few models.

So lets see the lengths:
Audi Q5: 4,639 mm
Lexus NX: 4,630.4 mm
Audi Q3: 4,385 mm
Lexus CTh: 4,320 mm
Audi Q1: 3,950 mm (reported by TopGear)
Yaris:3,885 mm
They will all be based on same platform in the future, new TNGA will span most of the models, just like new Audi/VW platform does as well.

Not that this matters too much but the overall length of the CT is 171.2 In and the wheelbase is 102.4 In.
