The CT 200h is great for mpg's however lacks a little on power. It's a great daily driver. The CT line needs a more powerful variant. A CT 300h would have the power but at the same time would gain unnecessary weight.

In my opinion a CT 200t would fit the bill. A turbo 4 cylinder would be a great balance for the CT. Savings in weight and increased power and handling.

 

Yep. Today's 200 is clearly not the poorly-designed, rental-grade, dull-driving rattletrap that previous models were, though I agree with you that long-term reliability may (?) still be somewhat of a concern.

And, yes, this car is selling WITH incentives, but, IMO, based on my own review of the V6 version, it is a good enough product that it doesn't NEED incentives. As Hyundai used to say with its old slogan.......

 

Lots of enthusiasm for GS here. It truly is the best car in Lexus lineup right now and refresh is going to turn out pretty good, unlike any other sedan mmc in Lexus history sans LS. It remains a mystery why they botched the pricing on 450h.

If US could get 200t and 300h versions for all sedans they would reclaim the sales crown within two to three years.

On a side note MB has sold more SUVs than Lexus this month (that is if you count GLA as an SUV).

 

I look forward to December 2014 Sales thread. I'd guess that the NX and RC would help in sales for Lexus. I would assume RC December sales at 1,200 and NX December sales at 2,550.
