The Lexus CT isn't know for anything in particular. This little front-wheel drive compact doesn't have an extended wheelbase version, it won't offer you best-in-class storage and is available with only one engine, which isn't particularly powerful. But it's for these very reasons that they've managed to sell 169,000 examples.
For 2014, the CT received a major update. The now famous Lexus spindle grille has been added to the front of this car, along with new wheels and other sporty goodies. But that's not the full extent of the transformation as it seems the automaker was concerned with making this a youthful, cool car.
This isn't something we can express in word, which is why we suggest you check out the videos below. These are the very first commercials for the Japanese hatchback, which we got from a Japanese channel, but appear to be global. Red or yellow paint, aggressive driving and even some handbrake turns – how very un-Lexus of them!
Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
