My wife keeps suggesting reasons why she should drive the IS long term and I can have the Vibe! Haha, NO. Well, now she wants her own fancy Toyota. The tangled webs I weave... What have I wrought... And so on. She loved that little Vibe... Until she drove the IS and RX.
Turns out my wife also really likes the CT200h F-Sport in this lovely blue. Apparently it’s between this and the new RX350 (disclaimer: in *fictional* car world... We’re not in the market for a car right now obviously).
I am rooting for hard for the CT because it’s not big and ugly like the RX, kills it in fuel economy, and did I mention it’s not big and ugly. We also don’t need AWD. But she also really wants a crossover. The heart wants what it wants, right?
On the plus side, it’s really awesome to see how more interested my wife is in cars compared to when we first met :)

Happy wife, happy life.
I’ve seen CT not too expensive now, the design isn’t the latest thing, and depreciation even hits the vaunted swoopy L.

I bet it would be really annoying to be married to someone who talked about cars nonstop!
... Oh shit. My poor wife.

My girlfriend is one of the nine white women left in the entire country who isn’t into cars but does not want a crossover or SUV.

You know, a really nice minty-ish 66 Mustang with a straight 6 is a great car for daily driving....costs half as much as those pictured. She would look good driving one...

Yes, I would really seek one with low miles though. Because you know, battery shenanigans

The CT 200h looks so good, surprisingly... the blue paint just finishes it off

I like the CT200h a lot. It’s sort of like a really fancy Prius... Would have zero qualms with getting one for my wife if she wanted one.

The CT is nice other than the CVT weirding me out. I can’t get used to accelerating while the car locks at 2000rpm.

What about the Scion iM? Relatively cheap and new and nice looking in person too. https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/vehicledetails.xhtml?listingId=478234718&zip=98201&referrer=%2Fcars-for-sale%2Fsearchresults.xhtml%3Fzip%3D98201%26startYear%3D1981%26sortBy%3DderivedpriceASC%26incremental%3Dall%26firstRecord%3D0%26endYear%3D2019%26modelCodeList%3DSCIIM%26makeCodeList%3DSCION%26searchRadius%3D100&startYear=1981&numRecords=25&firstRecord=0&endYear=2019&modelCodeList=SCIIM&makeCodeList=SCION&searchRadius=100&makeCode1=SCION&modelCode1=SCIIM

I like them a lot too, but she the wants a fancification upgrade, and a bigger car in general. The CT is only in the running because it looks good, comes in that blue, and is fancy (by our standards)

Yeah I totally get it. Lexus definitely wins on build quality and materials for sure.

I’m not into Lexi at all, but I really like the CT. I also really like how the ndw Prii look. Debating trading in the X1 on one. What’s happening to me?

I like the ct200h a lot too, you get to have Pruis fuel economy without having to drive a Prius. That’s a win win. Unfortunately they were way out of our price range 3 years ago when we bought the Fit.

Thought I posted this message yesterday. I’ve given myself some kind of complex because now I can’t stop seeing Scion iMs everywhere! This is the 5th one
