I think the only reason the CT was ever compared to the Prius is because they both share the same hybrid drivetrain. The Prius was the Toyota hybrid, and the CT was the Lexus hybrid. So, it could be said that the CT is just a fancy Prius, or a Prius with leather. And in a sense, it's right, but at the same time, what's so bad about that? What it means is that it's a nice hybrid. And, indeed, it is.

 

I had both. They look, feel, and drive very differently. CT is much sturdier, more solid, more quiet, and very pleasant compared to the top Prius with LEATHER seats and GPS.
