Wouldn’t be awesome for Lexus to make a rival for the BMW’s 1 Series, a nice little hatchback with rear wheel drive, bearing both the right looks and performance?
You’ll say that there is no point, as Lexus already has its CT hybrid model for the hatch range and it comes even with the F Sport optional pack. Still, it doesn’t seem to outperform the new BMW M135i.

And here is where Theophilus Chin comes into the scene, imagining a Lexus sporty hatch, derived from both the new 2014 IS model and the CT.

The rear end styling of the CT model was used on the new Lexus IS compact sedan, resulting not only in a sexy looking machine, but also a powerful rear-wheel drive one, powered by a 3.5-liter V6 engine mated to a six- or eight-speed automatic transmission.
