That is pretty BA. I approve, and I don't even like the idea of these entry level compact cars.

Nice job Lexus.

I like it as well. Lexus is going gung-ho for the European market. CT 300h FTW...

aside from the wheels and the higher roof-line.. its pretty much exactly the same... and i'm sure you know by now that all concept car drawings i.e. the wheels never come out that way.. lol. just imagine a mild version of the concept car sketches. and that's pretty much hat came out in the yellow picture

I LIKE IT! and imnot into that genre of cars either.. but i hope we can whoop some German ****

No, pretty much confirmed it will be based on an existing FWD platform. It helps with packaging as we know but it would have been nice for it to join the 1 series as the only RWD cars in the segment.

Not really an issue in Europe, the vast majority in this segment is FWD.

Hopefuly AWD is an option...maybe even a trick AWD...

I think this will be based on the Avensis platform similar to the HS. If the production car keeps some of this aggressive style, and it is fun to drive while being efficient it will be a good seller I think.

What the hell was Lexus talkng about then, when they described it as a "1-series competitor"
