Cool.

I usually organize a L.A. Auto Show meet, so this will be one of the many that we will get to see in person...

Hopefully this means they have US plans for this nice looking little car.

It appears the CTh will come to the U.S. Are we still getting an IS hybrid?

I'd love to see a AWD version of that with a powerful engine for us Canadians.

3.5L + AWD in this thing might be some fun - a manual would be great also!

I remember seeing the first LF-A concept a few years back, a big hit, surrounded by large crowds...it will be quite something to see the production version!

For the LF-Ch, I hope we get a good view of that interior.

Very good chance the LF A should be at LA, especially if it is first premiered in Tokyo in October. LA would then be the North American premiere for the production LF A, and with roughly a two month time gap between the two autoshows, should be fine logistics-wise.

I am very interested to see the production version of the LF-Ch/CT.

I like the design of the car except for the poorly integrated exhaust tip.

All Lexus hybrids have CVTs.....

I hope more than 1 engine choice is offered, as AWD.
