Offering a unique combination of efficiency, luxury and performance—as well as affordability—the all-new Lexus CT 200h will feature an MSRP of just $29,120 when it goes on sale in March of 2011. The fifth hybrid to join the brand’s lineup, the CT 200h delivers the kind of premium, dynamic driving experience that customers have come to expect from Lexus, with the best combined fuel efficiency in its class as an added bonus.
Consider: The CT 200h boasts standard equipment that includes push-button start/stop, touch-sensor exterior front-door handles, a leather steering wheel, an up-level six-speaker audio system with a USB port and integrated satellite radio receiver, Bluetooth compatibility, 17-inch aluminum alloy wheels, dual-zone automatic climate control and an eight-airbag supplemental restraint system. Naturally, a full range of options are available as well, led by Lexus’ sixth-generation navigation system. This innovate unit showcases the company’s exclusive Remote Touch controller, which operates like a computer mouse and does away with the need for touch-screen controls. As a result, the navigation screen can be mounted in a more ergonomic location that offers improved sight lines for the driver. [click to continue…]

Displaying the same perseverance and resiliency that helped him survive cancer, racer Joe Bacal—with plenty of help from co-drivers Chris Cocores, Bob Ditner and Paul Williamson—piloted a Lexus LX 570 to the winner’s circle in the recent Baja 1000, one of the world’s most grueling off-road competitions. It was the fourth win this year for Bacal and the Lexus, which is sponsored by the Cancer Treatment Centers of America. That kind of performance helped him take home the 2010 SCORE Stock Full driver championship, catapulted Lexus to the manufacturer’s title and gave Bacal’s crew the team championship.
It certainly wasn’t easy, though. Bacal and Cocores got off to a fast start in the Baja race, but less than 200 miles into the event, the wheels started to fall off—literally: “I felt great and we were making excellent time until a wheel came loose around mile 180,” said Bacal. “The loose wheel caused some damage that took quite a while to repair.” [click to continue…]
