    It was on my shortlist 12 months ago - but when I saw the Gen 4, the CT200h didn't really stand a chance. The CT200h was better finished, better seats, but wasn't well equipped in comparison (no HUD, DRCC was only down to 30km/hr and about $18,000 extra), had a much smaller boot (trunk).

    It was on my shortlist back in 2011. Then the PiP came out. Looking back, especially with current trade-in values and with what I know now, the CT would have been a better purchase in my eyes.


    Unsupervised!

    I was initially looking for a prime. Perhaps in 39 months it will be available here and much improved.

    It should. By then, it'll be the last year of the Prime (or penultimate year) and we can see what other powertrains Toyota has to offer.

    As for the grille - is it even bigger than the recent LEXUS monstrosities. And what happened to the front guard - it seems it's been chewed away in the top corner - to distribute mud better?
