    I love the brand, but had no good feelings with this particular CT. I had the right to cancel the contract (because it was sold as "accident free" but wasn't) so I did it.

    It had some issues, such as a mysterious sound with low frequency at low engine speeds, between 40 and 70 km/h. The tailgate was from a F-Sport model, while mine was a luxury line. The track was warped totally. I had some different gap dimensions on the back too. I think it was a heavy accident what happened to this CT.

    Over in Sand Mountain, an area of North Alabama on the other side of the Tennessee River, there are body shops that buy total wrecks and weld up Frankenstien cars.

    There was a big stink about 30 years ago because they were selling them without telling anyone or noting it was a 'salvage' title. Nice looking, cheap cars until the rain got through the thin paint and the weld joints rusted out.

    Ordered my Gen4 Comfort (mid-level) dark grey with IPA+ICS today!!! Yes!
    Delivery time unknown though... :( no car in my color/trim was available and they will not know when mine is due, until the order reaches toyota Japan and then the car reaches the Toyota Europe ordering system... Let's hope sooner than later! :)
    (the sales guy, poor him, still sick for this week, so I ordered from his backup).

    Today I brought my Gen3 for changing to summer tires and get the "fitness check" (oil change) done, which the dealer where I have ordered my Gen4, agreed to pay for.
    I met the sales guy who told me that the order is in, but not confirmed yet and he cannot yet see when I will get my Gen4.... (dark grey with IPA).
    Waiting waiting waiting.... :(
