Very nice!
Now that is a much more luxurious interior! Anyone in the back seat will really appreciate the upgrade as well. The ct may as well be a two door with the amount of room in the back seat.
The person who traded in their ct to the dealership that I bought it from also upgraded to a gs450h. I guess it's a natural move if you enjoy the reliability and style of Lexus but want more luxury and room.

Yes SteveMason. Give credit to Toyota for making a 4200lb car that has the horsepower of a 4.5 liter V8 that gets 32mpg.
Nothing wrong with my CT, it just has 7800 miles on it, but for long cruises, the GS is a good choice.
Selling my CT for half the price of new:

Roadfrog, that's what got me hooked on Lexus hybrids. My uncle bought a 2008 LS600h. Drove it and hit 113mph, but the cabin was tomb quiet. The roof on my CT is black. I use Glare polish, about 30 bucks. It's the best out there. Here is what my roof looks like 2 years after applying:

Gs450h are extremely rare here... Probably due to it only being rwd (we can get a few feet of snow in the winter)
I've always had a thing for the GS platform. And the hybrid drivetrain makes them a blast to drive.. I believe it's just slightly slower than the ISF's if I remember right.
Awesome pick up!

Thanks Trexus. I should take delivery on the GS on September 19th.
My wife's car is a silver HS. I updated the front by putting vinyl on the nose. About $20 and an hours time.
Put my CT on Portland Craigslist for 24k. Fingers crossed.

That should sell quickly. You're taking a big loss for 7800 miles. Good luck on the new car!

Thanks itsr. My CT is a beauty. Hopefully the rare Ultrasonic Blue will help. I'm in the low phase of hybrid sales because of current "cheap" gas. I guess that why I got such a deal on my GS 450h. Here's a shot I took on Monday for the Craigslist ad:
