One that comes to my mind is the Subarau WRX hatchback.

IMO, the CT is competing against the Prius... Or actually, its after the people who want everything a Prius offers, but absolutely HATES Prius's and their owners :lol:
Its the second best Hybrid in terms of MPG at this point, since it is just a Prius drivetrain, but it has sedate yet seductive styling, an EXCELLENT interior, and great handling, all of which someone who actually cares about cars feels the Prius completely lacks in.
It doesn't compete with the A3, 1-series, or other Luxury entry-level compacts, because none of those are Hybrids, and its too much Luxury to compete with other compacts like the Focus, Cruze, Elantra, MINI, etc.
The CRZ is about the closest thing, but it lacks a back seat and luxury. If Honda were to come out with a hybrid TSX, then it would compete with that, but right now IMO this car has created a new "niche" in the market.
