That's right! The new Lexus CT 200h pricing will start around $29K. This is great news for those in the market for this smart five door hatch. The CT 200h is a hybrid with a Euro twist. It will be coming to U.S. Lexus dealers in March 2011. There are more details to come in the immediate future.

5 grand under the HS. Nice. Wonder what comes standard though!

Thats news to my ears, I just wonder what it be in Canada.

update: some reason the *.gif from TLE is offline.

Knowing dealerships in Quebec city, it will be right around 35k or so, with no place for negociations.

This seems really reasonably priced. The options seem quite good too. Upgraded radio w/ backup camera for me.

Any ideas what Fsport options will be available?

That's a great base price point. Put price on the list of reasons to check this out in March.


Question: Premium Audio? Does that mean ML?

JessePS

I did some shady math and it be like C$33,779 without the destination charge and taxes (wtv Canada charges). Which is pretty good in my books

Hmm... I don't think so. I know the ML system only for Europe or something. Not sure why the Europeans should get the classy audio system.

I have a feeling many people will opt out and get the Premium model. For like an extra $1,780. To get heated seats and a sunroof, seems like a bargain March can't come soon enough.

Price exceeded my expectations. I will be disapointed if like the HS, it has halogens standard and only the LED option (which dealers never order). Plug in play HID kits will make a killing with the CT

Thanks Ryan, this is very aggressive pricing and good news in my book.

Fully loaded $38,400. Since no one buys pre-collision its right under $37,000 with every option but that one.

I have a feeling they are going to sell base premium models like hotcakes. Its great they have the auto reverse camera option in the rearview mirror if you don't want NAV for only $500 or so.

F-sport parts at launch to boot. Great to see them continue to push F-sport.

Wonder will these become loaners?

a list price below the IS and HS seems right. can't wait to see it in showrooms. i've never seen the auto reverse in the rear view mirror before, so that should make for a nice addition.

Mark Levinson is not offered in the CT for the United States. But have no fear, the Premium Audio that comes in the CT sounds pretty damn good. It has clarity and the right amount of bass.

The cost of of ML would price the CT way too high in the USA. If I had a CT, I would order it with ML like I do the rest of my Lexus cars, but to be honest, ML is overkill for a car like this.

Halogen is standard, no HID option, but LED is the only other headlamp option...so yes you will be disappointed. Also the license plate lamps are incandescent, not LED.
