New Lexus Introduces CT 200h F Sport

Lexus is currently running a close race with Mercedes-Benz for the title of the top selling luxury manufacturer in the United States market.

There are rumblings that the luxury division could be stepping up incentives in order to retain the title.

Regardless, a new product that Lexus counts on helping sales next year is the CT 200h hybrid hatchback. Lexus is aiming to add a little visual drama with a new CT 200h F Sport model.

Unfortunately, the new car appears to be all show and no go though. Exterior updates include a more aggressive and redesigned front fascia, body kit, honeycomb upper grille, and a new rear bumper and diffuser.

The electric Flame Blue color that has debuted on previous Lexus F performance models features. The color looks particularly striking with the darkened windows. There is also larger alloy wheels in a gun metal finish.

The most important update to the actual driving experience would have to be modifications to the suspension.

Inside there is an F-exclusive trim, steering wheel, sports pedals, as well as a redesigned instrument panel.

The biggest bummer is no performance enhancements to the CT 200h’s hybrid powertrain. The car’s standard 1.8-liter VVT-i four-cylinder engine makes 134 horsepower combined with an electric motor.

The engine is mated to a continuously variable transmission (E-CVT) and the setup provides a 9.8 second 0-60 time. As you can imagine, this isn’t the best car for those looking for performance. The F-Sport sure will sure look the performance part though….

New Lexus Projects 12,000 CT 200h Sales a Year

There is not much happening here lately Lexus in the U.S.. Latest campaign focuses on the HS and is convertible 250H hybrid.
Based on the Toyota Corolla, I've never been big fans. It seems the market. Announced as the world's first luxury hybrid Lexus dedicated service is expected to help younger population to 25,000 units per year.

At only 2,000 per month with an aggressive pricing policy that looked like an easy goal to achieve and even surpass them. We are probably not the final figure will be closer to 10,000 by the end of this year.
GS flop in mind, the Lexus is more conservative, setting targets for the new hybrid CT 200 hours, according to Automotive Ward. This period was set at 12,000 per year, only 1,000 cars per month, which again resembles the bar so low that success in sales to recover. However, a low response to the CT market and historical reluctance GS hatchbacks, with a good number is far from certain.
Interestingly, Brian Bolain, Lexus national advertising and marketing director, not a little friction in which CT HS: "Do you love or hate, as GS seems just a 3-box sedan," said Bolain. "It is not only visually characterized by the people. For someone who wants a declaration (), the HS does not get it where necessary."

CT is certainly different - but will that be enough? Lexus has Gen X and Y drive customers to buy CT hatchback. This demographic segment is growing incomes exceeding $ 100,000, and Lexus claims that its research shows 50-60% of buyers are men, three quarters of the new brand. It is obviously driven by an emphasis on sporty driving range.

I strongly doubt that the sale will be conducted, and the word sport is a lot of places in a car with 00-60 times of 9.8 seconds. The car runs 1.8-liter VVT-i four-cylinder Atkinson-cycle engine 134 hp, which, combined with an electric motor.

New Lexus IS To Share Platform with Toyota FT-86?

Lexus’ issues with the performance crowd are well known. A company that makes front-wheel drive luxury cruisers based off Toyota models isn’t exactly the best recipe for success. We’ve just been waiting for an ES F (that’s a joke).

The one standout in Lexus’ model range though has been the IS range, formerly known as the Toyota Altezza in Japan. With a rear-wheel drive platform and the lone Lexus F model, it is by far the most attractive Lexus model in our opinion.

Introduced in 2005 a a 2006 model, it is time for a replacement. Shockingly, it could be based on another car that Toyota enthusiasts have pinned their performance hopes on – the FT-86. That’s the word from Road & Track.

The FT-86 has been heralded as an important new vehicle for Toyota. With a new rear-wheel drive platform and expensive development for what it likely to be a pretty low volume model, finding another car to share FT-86′s platform with would be ideal.

The IS makes perfect sense, increasing economies of scale and reducing development expenses by having a luxury brand share the platform. Beyond that though, the IS’ standard model is in need of a more sporting character. Sharing with the FT-86 could be just the way to do that.

Count us as supporters of that idea. What seems be a bit sketchy though is the projected launch date for the next-generation car – 2013 The IS needs a replacement or very significant refresh before then in order to stay relevant.

Lexus' performance problems are well known in the crowd. The company that the front wheel drive luxury cruiser based on the model makes, Toyota is not exactly the best recipe for success. We just waited EC F (that's a joke).

One of the standout models in the Lexus IS series, however, formerly known as the Toyota Altezza in Japan. Powered rear wheel drive platform and an F-model Lexus, it's far from the most Lexus models, in our opinion.

Introduced in 2005, AA 2006 model, it is time to replace. Shocking, but may be based on half car, the Toyota fans hope their power - FT-86: e is a word of Road & Track.
FT-86 has been declared a major new car for Toyota. The new rear-wheel drive platform and a set for the development of what is likely a very low volume models, another car FT-86 has a platform would be ideal to find.

Makes perfect sense, increasing the scale and reduce development as a platform to share luxury brand. In addition, however, "standard model is the need for more sport. Share with FT-86 is only one way to do it.

New Lexus IS 200d F-Sport car reviews

What is it?

Well, it's unusual. Not that Lexus is now a cleaner version of the diesel-powered compact sedan has a premium, but the relationship with the environment at the expense of power and performance, and you have a choice.

IS200d replaces IS220d keeps the same 2.2-liter four-cylinder diesel engine, but with changes in the combustion chamber and a piezo-electric injectors. It is now a diesel particulate filter to the Euro 5 emissions to achieve the specified combined economy figure of 55.4mpg (50.4mpg on) and CO2 emissions of 134g/km (from 148g/km). However, the power and torque is also reduced, IS200d has 148bhp and 27bhp and £ 251 m £ 44 m below the model it replaces.

How does it feel?

In city traffic is not so much a problem, and the spread of torque is enough to smooth, but outside the city IS200d be for her performance, and even then it's slower than some competitors.

Lexus asking price "of £ 28,290 for sports equipment tested here F (which also gets some exterior updates in 2011) is unchanged from the comparable price IS220d. Although it makes it £ 1000 cheaper than the BMW 320d M Sport, in every other respect, BMW (181bhp, £ 280 m, 60.1mpg and 125g/km) belabor Lexus. Since Mercedes-Benz C220 CDI Sport, but it's still expensive. Goes in the opposite direction of price, the BMW 318d M Sport, but less than IS200d, faster and cheaper.
Should I buy?

If you can get over the fact that competition IS200d overcome, it remains an interesting alternative, which I find more satisfaction than the subjective objective studies suggest.

Five years and M Sport trim, it's still an attractive car. Ride and handling mix meets modern than many competitors, and the transfer of this model is much better than our original road test IS220d car. Unfortunately, our critics wrong when the rear seats and cargo space, plus a pretty sophisticated engine, and remain, and now supplemented by the fact that it feels too slow.
