greg1647545532 Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 My parents have been talking about replacing their 93 Camry with a Prius. It old them to get this instead. http://www.lexus.com/lexus-share/images/gallery/models/CTh/photos/exterior/g_ext4_CT-178.jpg http://www.lexus.com/lexus-share/images/gallery/models/CTh/photos/exterior/g_ext3_CT-213.jpg http://www.lexus.com/lexus-share/images/gallery/models/CTh/photos/exterior/g_ext13_CT-224.jpg I figure if you're gonna get a Prius, might as well be good looking.

OneSlow04GEETEE Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 I work for Metro Lexus up here in Cleveland. They're pretty cool cars and get 43mpg city. Not too shabby. Start off at like $30k... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Jones Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 It has a prius drive-train, therefore, it is without a soul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but you can get a Prius with leather interior/heated seats for less than $30k. I honestly don't know why anyone buys new Lexus. Their resale value isn't tremendous and in most cases you can get a nicer Toyota for less. edit: unless, do they have some sort of amazing warranty?

iwashmycar Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 definately looks better than a Prius. Front is Accord/MS3 and rear is Subie. plus it looks a little bit bigger. may be better if you have to actually move anything ever lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Karacho1647545492 Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 You can get an AWD 300 HP Toyota Sedan? Ok, you can't get a 300HP AWD Toyota sedan for under $41k. But now that they're FINALLY recognizing and fixing the fuel pump issue, I don't see why you wouldnt just get a 335xi. Comparably equipped its more money but its so much more fun to drive. Also, you can get a proper manual gearbox on the BMW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg1647545532 Posted March 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Just to put things back in perspective, my parents are in their 60s and own two Camrys. They don't want AWD or 300hp, and resale value means little when they keep cars for 18 years. My mom wants a Prius, I'm trying to talk them into something with a bit more... fuck, anything but a Prius. Because whatever they get will be cherry when they're 80 and have like no miles on it. It's going to be hard to sell the CT over the Prius though. They don't like leather, and my mom still can't figure out the auto climate controls in their '03 Camry. My dad said it was a good looking car, which is promising, but might not be enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Littleguy Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Lexus really is the perfect brand for people your parents age. Very comfortable and quiet cars, Lexus service is much better than BMW or Mercedes, imo, and Lexus cars feel softer than Audi's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad has an AWD GS300 and my mom has an AWD RX330. Both cars suit their needs perfectly. They used to be Cadilac people, but like the Lexus so much more.

kirks5oh Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 i'm not going to lie to you---when i see a prius, i need every bit of restraint imaginable to overcome the urge to ram it with whatever vehicle i'm driving at the moment.
