The fact that I'm the first to post here probably indicates that nobody here really cares.  The idea of the CT is great (take a Prius, but make it stylish) and have a cheaper entrant for Lexus - but yay, it now looks like its other siblings.  Enough said.  Nothing more to see here.

So it looks different but they havent resolved the #1 complaint about this vehicle, the lackluster drivetrain.

Is this the hybrid that does 0-60 in 3 minutes?

Longer, I think it involves some astral calendar and a sextant to measure....

Better than the pre-refresh which I found a bit boring.

I think it's on purpose. Which is not clear to me, as is the absence of the Camry's Cynergy Drive. I actually think the design is an improvement overall but a Lexus shouldn't be this slow.
