Questionable modifications: pictures inside!

[MoLiEG]

What your opinion of sticker bombing?

I quite like it... 👍 depending the car and where you place it, it can make your car look pretty sweet...

Or just awful:

Went to New Hampshire Motorspeedway for WDrift/Drift Spot and a Hot Import Nights car show was happening at the same time. Pretty big event... And brought several distasteful cars to the event. I only got a picture of a couple of them, but there were cars that were just as bad as these:

I think...this might be a Tiburon? With S15 headlights and G35 taillights...

Cougar

Red LED headlights and these doors. Already on the FR-S. It was at the little Scion booth too.

iQ at the booth as well.

Odyssey with some interesting mods.

Widebody Civic.

A diffuser? On a Lexus hatchback? What madness is this!?!

 

[Hei]

That looks damn good.

That's a concept car at a auto show isn't it?


What's the question here??

It looks good for what it is I think!!

 

[Ranman20]

That diffuser makes it look ugly.

 

[Clark]

That diffuser makes it look ugly.

It was ugly enough to begin with.

 

[playnthru]

^^ That man speaks truth!

 

[Downhill Dino]

iQ at the booth as well.

I'm going to admit, that's pretty awesome. And that SRT4, beautiful.

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

I like the CT230h.

 

[Beeblebrox237]

I saw one in the UK, and it looked quite nice. It stands out nicle. In America, however, I think it looks ugly. Funny how that works.

I like the taillights. The shape of it, being Lexus's first (is it?) foray into a hatchback, was doomed. But, the lights, and the things that Lexus has been doing for a while, were quite nice.

It has a very nice, organic quality to it that I like. It's mildly aggressive, too. However, I feel that the design doesn't flow well enough.

 

[Hei]

Well it is a prius lol.

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

Well it is a prius lol.

What is? The CT230h is, therefore, the nicest looking Prius ever made, in that case.

Doomed?

The CT200h is still alive & well.

Well it is a prius lol.

Not even built on the same platform....

I really hate the hatch on it. The design was doomed to be looked down upon by some GTP members.

It's like the IS series. It's not Lexus's flagship, but it's still one of the nicest looking cars they've ever made. Every. Single. Time.


And the GS series is just stunning to look at. Same for the SC. I love Lexus styling, but the CT series was... in my opinion, a dropped ball.

Doesn't it have the same damn drivetrain?

 

[The Stig Farmer]

Doesn't it have the same damn drivetrain?

That's what I thought.

 

[McLaren]

It does, but to my knowledge, Toyota is keen on applying it to anything that's a hybrid in their lineup.

It definitely does not drive like a Prius at all, though. The F-Sport model even manages to be a bit entertaining to drive.

Doesn't it share a platform with the Scion tC?

According to the internet, these cars are all on a variant of the "MC" platform:

• 2006- Toyota RAV4
• 2007- Toyota Corolla (2009 in US market)
• 2007- Toyota Camry
• 2007- Toyota Aurion
• 2007- Lexus ES
• 2007- Toyota Mark X Zio
• 2008- Toyota Auris/Blade
• 2008- Toyota Highlander
• 2008- Toyota Corolla Rumion/Scion xB
• 2009- Toyota Matrix
• 2009- Toyota Venza
• 2009- Toyota Avensis
• 2010- Lexus HS
• 2010- Lexus RX
• 2010- Toyota Prius
• 2011- Toyota Sienna
• 2011- Scion tC
• 2011- Lexus CT

With such a wide range of vehicles (wikipedia calls it "a versatile platform"), I suppose you could say the CT and Prius are unrelated in that they aren't built off of the same variant. The page for the CT itself implies it shares more in common with the Corolla and Matrix.

Well, why knot?

Oh, that's what it'll end as.. knots.

I see nothing wrong with these.

 

[Rykon Zero]

Doors are stupid, but interesting idea for those lights, I haven't seen that yet.

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

The red headlights seem unsafe, though. Red normally indicates *taillights.* I can just imagine a poor old lady innocently swerving into the oncoming lanes to follow "the guy in my lane with the red lights."

 

[Sage Ages]

True, but we don't now if it's used on the road or not.

 

[Slash]

True, but we don't now if it's used on the road or not.

At least in my state it's illegal to have the headlights any color than clear as far as I know.

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

"Clear" is a colour?
