2012 Lexus CT 200h gets F Sport package
Lexus is cranking up the performance and visual appeal of its CT 200h for 2012 with the addition of an optional F Sport package available only on the Premium version of the hybrid hatch. The CT 200h F Sport gets a revised body kit with a meshed-out front grille, 17-inch high-gloss alloy wheels, metal front scuff plates, a perforated leather steering wheel, leather shift knob, aluminum pedals, optional perforated leather seats and some metallic trim on the dash. Lexus says the F Sport package also includes a re-tuned suspension, but there’s nothing here in the way of powertrain improvements.

In addition to F Sport, the 2012 CT 200h features what the Japanese automaker calls a “Vehicle Proximity Notification System,” which is Lexus speak for the almost-mandated pedestrian warning system that will soon be required on all hybrid and electric vehicles.

Automotive News reports that Lexus’ long-rumored seven-passenger crossover, dubbed ‘VX’, has been delayed, even after several years of study. As far as the automaker’s CUVs and SUVs go, the RX will get a redesign in early 2014, using some of the new bits found in the updated Toyota Camry platform. The larger GX, which was redesigned in 2010, will not see any major changes, and the grandaddy LX will likely carry on unchanged for the foreseeable future – possibly beyond 2015.
