Lexus CT200h vs other Euro premium compacts

I just saw the latest Top Gear magazine cover and the upcoming Lexus CT200h looks pretty cool...

Just curious what are other people's opinion on the Lexus vs BMW 1-series, Audi A3, Volvo C30, etc.

I read that it will be priced at around 2M+

Most Expensive Hybrid car?

If it'll be priced at just 2m+, okay na yun. The Prius is 2m+ due to taxes.

With the Lexus, you'll get the same drivetrain and economy, the same good performance, and an upgraded interior more befitting the price.

All you can get from the Europeans at 2m or so are stripped down 3-series class cars or the smallish 1-series class vehicles.

Mga 2.488 ang price nito. Feng shui-related yata ang 8 na ending sa mga presyo ng Lexus. Kung hindi ako nagkakamali ilalabas ito ng January. :thumbup:

Almost 2.5 Million Pesos din ang CT200..Di na nilabas dito yung HS250h dahil mas mahal pa daw yan sa IS300 pag nilabas dito!

I just got some news that CT200h will be released by late January. Two trim levels, one at 2.2M+ (or 2.3M+) and 2.8M+ daw.
