I'm surprised (and disappointed) they didn't do this in 2011 as well. It's not as if they haven't done it before. My 2001 IS300 had a tray which apparently had a cover in the Japanese version. I bought the cover and made it into a useful storage compartment. The CT is lacking in storage IMO.Damn, really wish they thought of that the first go-around. Would be a great location to hardwire and mount a non-factory aftermarket NAV (like I did in my last car).
