Well, as soon as I thought I had my mind made up on my new car this year. I love the CT. Had my heart set on it! But, this changed everything. 200hp! And 40mpg!! What is Toyota thinking not offering this powertrain in the CT!!! Yeah, I know. It's a Toyota Camrey. It's not a Lexus. Oh well! It starts $2000 less!! Can't believe it!!! I still love the looks of the CT but I don't think I can spend 38000 on car that they should be changing the engine on next year. This stinks. I had a CT ordered back in March too but pulled out and got my wife a Sienna instead. Good thing i did, I would have been POed. Stinks. I love the CT. Well, plan B. Scion FR-S. Toyota, don't screw it up!!! I know I'm going to get some strong defense from this post. I'm actually angry at Toyota and Lexus for doing this and I don't even own one!! Sorry for the rant. :(

What makes u think that it could not get 40+ mpg with the 2.5 powertrain? The Camrey is bigger, heavier, and less aerodynamic. Do you think that the new Camrey is not going to get 41 mpg as they state? I think Toyota really dropped the ball on this one. I would be very upset if I just bought a CT. What the heck were they thinking?!? Has to be a case of already started the 1.8 with the CT. Too expensive to redo the inards and plumbing of a car this new. Let's just roll with it another year. Hopefully they still will sell as well as they have this past year.
