    Lexus CT 200h is No More After 2017

      Wait, they were still selling it?

    The CT 200h, the sole hybrid-only model in Lexus' lineup will be disappearing from the U.S. after 2017. The company told Car and Driver the hatchback will not be returning to the U.S. for 2018 model year. It will still be sold in other markets for the foreseeable future.

    The move isn't that surprising considering how the model hasn't changed significantly since its launch in 2011 and slow sales - 8,903 models sold in 2016. Not helping matters is the sister model, the Toyota Prius has been updated and beats the CT 200h in fuel economy - 52 mpg combined vs. 42 mpg combined.

    A subcompact crossover known as the UX is coming and a hybrid variant could act as the de-facto replacement for the CT.

    it was popular in these parts.  particularly at the used auto broker dealers that sell lots of 1-3 year old luxury lease returns.  lots of them available with crazy low miles for a good deal, in comparison to say, a toyota iM or prius

    My boss bought one that was traded on a Genesis.  Original owner had it murdered out, and the radio was on the fritz.  I think it's fixed now, and since he peeled some of the plasti-dip off, it's now only an attempted murder.

    ... I thought it was dead already..

    It never felt like a Lexus level car. 

    It was like a toy for those wannabes who grew up with the F &F crowd...

      This just proves how stupid the current administration is about cutting everything and now people who voted for Idiot47 are woundering why they got no notice to evacuate when the storm hit. Catastrophic flooding leaves trail of destruction in western Alaska | Watch This was the Typhoon that made destruction and flooding in Japan, Korea, China, hit Alaska and now towns are unlivable.

      I will probably be up next year, Montreal style pizza is sounding amazing.  The best pizza I ever had was in Reno NV, second best in Detroit, Chicago is third.  Troubling part of the video shows someone getting detained for singing....by ICE... I hope like hell they drop the Tariffs on Chinese EV's.  What an absolute man child.

      NY Pizza and Bagels are highly overrated. Like Chicago Pizza, on a Detroit style Pizza kick lately. Tell us more about what is Montreal style pizza and bagels?

      Canadians are pissed with this and this is breaking news... Jeep will sell all the Jeeps they can in Canada as Canadians love their Jeeps. Just like other folk in the world. But...this makes for an interesting negotiation between Trump and Carney. Carney prefers negotiations over retaliations.   There is an offer on the table for nixing Canadian tariffs on Chinese EVs.   Why did I say negotiations to be interesting with Trump? Because Jeep leaving Canada, that does not leave too much enthusiasm for us Canadians to start thinking about our Canadian auto industry...saving it...as if GM and Ford do the same, there is no Canadian auto industry to be saved...so...there would ONLY BE ONE OPTION...to save the Canadian auto industry. And that would be to go to China... And if we go to China and let Chinese EVs not only to be sold here, but to be built here as well...Trump will need to comprehend that Detroit's...the US' auto industry... will be no more.   Canada has always pivoted AWAY from the US since March when Trump started threatening Canada. This is just another area where Canada just pivots away from the US.   There is something that I had to read in school... no man is an island? I cant remember the details but yeah...
