The World Car Fans crew have received what appears to be an official brochure for the Lexus CT 200h (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/LexusCT200h/) ahead of its reveal next week at the Geneva Motor Show (http://www.autoblog.com/category/geneva-motor-show/), and while the documents are light on details, we've got our first good glimpse of the brand's Euro-bound hybrid hatch.

The styling has been toned down considerably from the LF-Ch concept (http://www.autoblog.com/2009/09/09/officially-official-lexus-reveals-lf-ch-concept-in-full-ahead-o/) that debut in Frankfurt last year (http://www.autoblog.com/2009/09/15/frankfurt-2009-lexus-lf-ch-concept-hits-misses/), melding a few cues from the IS sedan and a profile remarkably similar to the Toyota Auris (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/ToyotaAuris/).

Coming in at 170 inches long, 69.5 inches wide and 56 inches tall, with a 102-inch wheelbase, the CT 200h is suspended by a MacPherson suspension in front, a double wishbone arrangement in the rear and 17-inch multi-spoke wheels.

Motivation comes courtesy of a 1.8-liter VVT-i-equipped four-cylinder gasoline engine putting out an unspecified output, with a electronically-controlled continuously variable transmission feeding power to the front wheels. A nickel-metal hydride battery pack is mounted below the cargo hold, and three driving modes are available – Eco, Normal and Sport – along with the ability to drive in full EV mode.

Lexus R&D Department: "Hmmm, we need a new, fresh design. Wait! I know! Let's buy a Mazda 3, slap Lexus badges on it, and sell it for more money!"

I'm a toyota/lexus fanboy and I think this is fucking fail.

it's too "Toyota-ish" looking to me. Doesn't appeal as how a Lexus should.

Doesn't look bad though, just not "luxury" feel

DOES IT HAVE BRAKES?

Looks great, but doesn't exactly look like a "Lexus" to me. Guess it's a competitor for the A3?

This one probably does, but the LF-A sure doesn't because it's so stunning that I'd beat the brakes off it.

I'm reading on Autoblog...seems low center of gravity was another priority..similar to the LFA :D

10 colors, 2 new..flame yellow and fire agate...


I can't tell if its LED lights or LED daytime running lights

I can't figure this oub ...is sport mode in red? Wow and I think sport mode adds a TACH and gets rid of the battery power meter.

Europe gets it as the market there is much different. Compact luxury hatches are essential there. It just might come here.

Has the Prius drivetrain so it should get EXCELLENT MPG. F-sport parts should come as well.

The area around the foglights looks too recessed. I like how close they stuck to the concept car.

Is this going to be a replacement to the HS or just an addition to the line? I think the HS is atrocious, but this is fantastic.

Haha wow, first Lexus I've REALLY liked in a while and it's a hybrid hatch!

CT was developed with Europe in mind. HS for us. HS is not sold in Europe, CT will debut in Europe :)

So an addition to the line. I'm expecting around 44 or so MPG city and highway so this would make a fantastic DD.

Wow that's ugly. Look at all that front overhang....:barf:


Lexus has been all about the fail lately...the newer SC, the IS 'vert, their SUVs, and now this. Let me correct myself....Toyota's design department has gone to shit as well.
