I think the Lexus CT 200H is the most attractive hatchback for sale in the US. I've been seeing them a lot recently and I think they look much cooler and nicer than anything else. The ford twins look ok, same with the GTI, but this definitely looks better and sportier IMO. I've never been much of a fan of the looks of Mazda's hatches though they're are definitely fun to drive, and I DD an A3 hatchback. I can't totally explain it, but if this wasn't a hybrid, I would want it so much

I loved the CT when it getting announced, when it came out, I got annoyed at how it was so tiny, but the new facelift made it look amazing.

I think you is cray cray. However, I accept that it looks decently sporty, so will accept that as your opinion.

with some nice Michelin or Pirreli summer grippy tires, it's not too bad to drive. It's a clever car if fully loaded with all the tech toys.

It was a great looking car. My dad almost bought one but the hybrid was so unfun to drive.
If they made even a CT200 with a 2 litre inline 4 to compete with the Golf and V40 and Focus, and other small hatches, Itd sell a ton more! Plus, if they could make like a CT250 F sport or something like that with a big V6 to take on the GTI and S3, it'd be so cool.

Not the hugest fan of the Predator face. I'd rather have a Gti, Wrx Hatch or St, but I respect your opinion.

Well, now that this is out in the open, I'll admit to liking them also! I know they're not sporty or quick, but I find them to be very attractive cars.

Yeah it doesn't make sense that they dont have any gas-powered hatch

If only they made a gas-powered sport version. I don't understand it

I agree it is definitely a good looking car. I'm feeling a RWD conversion and a 2JZ swap!

OMG FINALLY SOMEONE WHO AGREES WITH ME!!!!!!!!!!!! You have no idea how long i've been saying this. Basically since the car came out. I think the ct200h looks absolutely damn gorgeous. If it wasn't based off of a prius, and had like a 2.4l I4 or something even bigger, I would totally of bought it instead of what I have now. Don't get me wrong I love what I have now, but only if...

They could even just make a tiny turbo engine like other companies do, but NO they have to make it hybrid only

They really just need to give it a gas engine, even a tiny turbo one like other companies do. It would be fuel efficient yet still fun to drive. What do you DD? I have an A3 3.2

ohh that's a nice dd. Wagon? I have an 2014 accord coupe. I just passed 800 miles recently. I love that car though. I was able to take a 90 degree corner at 75 with traction control off! it also gets 36mpg highway, but I get an average of like 40 honestly because the roads where I live are pretty long and the route I take, you don't need to stop often.

Some sites list it as a wagon, but its definitely more of a hatchback. Its got 108k on it from 06, but its still in great condition. My only qualm is that I don't have a manual, but the dual clutch is so smooth that I'm okay with it

I like they way they look. I was thinking about getting one, but we could find one. We did find a sedan, but it had a problem with its header/valves/something like that.

I still think the Mazda3 Hatchback is probably the best looking hatchback in the U.S. - regardless of cost.
However, the Lexus CT 200H would be downright lustworthy if they put that hybrid performance powertrain from Toyota Yaris Hybrid-R in there. AWD and like 400+ horsepower with a gas engine, electric motors to independently power the rear wheels AND a supercapacitor?
Sign me the fuck up.

I rented one (from my grandfather's wife) when my S60R decided to go on strike for a few days (battery problems). I have been pretty spoiled when it comes to cars, but I've never encountered anything so slow in my life. The thing was panting at 65mph.
However, the thing I like about hybrids is that while in regular cars I try to achieve the highest MPG, in a hybrid I try to achieve the lowest.
In Sport+ or whatever Lexus calls it, I got 32MPG.
Kudos, Lexus.
