Just took delivery of my daybreak CT last Thursday. We got my wife an RX 450h in January, and ever since that time, I've been very impressed with the hybrid technology and quiteness of her vehicle. Since my 2007 GS 350 (AWD, navigation, etc.) was approaching 90K, I decided to do some research into the CT and to possibly trade in my GS. After I test drove the CT with a friend, I decided this was the car for me. I approached my dealer in April about getting a CT, and put a $1000 deposit down for a daybreak premium w/nav and was told it would probably be about 2 or 3 months before delivery, depending on production in Japan. It looks like I got lucky in getting one so soon, but it was a dealership allocation, and unfortunately, I won't have navigation but will have everything else on the CT that I wanted, including black leather interior. If I held out for my order, I could be waiting for several more months.
I know I sometimes will miss the power and space of my GS, but I find that the CT does just fine and can actually maneuver around curves much better than the GS. I have a 130 miles on the CT so far, and am averaging 42.3mpg. Expect to fill it up in a couple of weeks.
With my yellow CT and my wife's red RX, we probably have the most colorful driveway in the neighborhood.
