Nice. It just sucks that the starting price might be around C$36100

I could not see the CT costing more than the HS 250h.

So sorry to see that.

There was a special event at my dealer to check out the CT again, this was a production model. I have crappy iPhone pics but nothing I took is anything you haven't seen (maybe the engine bay).

I have to say the quality of the dash is really fantastic, really good mix of soft plastics and leather. The part I don't like is the exposed cupholders again. I fit fine in the car with the sunroof as it opens outside the car.

Longo Lexus had a CT special event last Wednesday from 9am - 4pm. I couldn't make cause I had to work. Tax season is so very busy this time of year. My time with the CT 200h will come very soon...can't wait...

Can anyone confirm what option/package needs to be checked off for the heated steering wheel? The TIS shows a heated steering wheel, but it doesn't appear to be standard. That is definitely something I'd like to have.

My dealer is supposed to have 2 in a few weeks.

Like my 450h, the battery is in the rear. Its in the rear bottom corner, hidden real well. The terminals are in the front though.

I was also shown the Yamaha shock absorber where a strut bar would be. Pretty cool. Its in the rear of the engine compartment right under the windshield. The rear bumper has stb too.

In the option packages the dealer showed me I didn't see that as an available option. If you saw it somewhere, it may have been dropped from the initial offering (which happens alot).

don't know about the CT, but for instance, the GX460 premium package has the heated steering wheel, i must say it's very nice in winter.
