Another Lexus<\/a> hybrid is coming, and it’s coming soon. Remember that solid gold Lexus LF-Ch Concept<\/a> we saw last year at the Frankfurt Motor Show<\/a>? We referred to it as something of a deformed puffer fish with some nice Lincoln Concept C<\/a> cues. Well guess what? It’s a concept no more and it’s coming to the Geneva Motor Show<\/a> in just a few short weeks so that us and the rest of the automotive press can ooh, ah and head scratch in unison.<\/p>\n

Not only that, but Lexus has dropped the silly LF-Ch name and replaced it with the not-quite-as-meaningless but equally clunky moniker CT 200h. We know, we know – 200h means the car has a 2.0-liter engine plus an electric motor. How exciting! That is, unless it’s like the LS 600hL, where the 600h means the 5.0-liter V8 combined<\/em> with the electric motor is theoretically as powerful as a 6.0-liter V12. There we go again, attacking overused alphanumerics…<\/p>\n

As for the CT 200h, here’s your de rigueur<\/em> teaser shot. We know next to nothing about the car, other than that Lexus views the gas\/electric compact luxury hatchback as a “gateway model” to its other hybrid vehicles. These include the RX 450h, GS 450h, the aforementioned LS 600hL and the HS 250h<\/a> that Lexus oddly left out of the CT’s press release. Does that mean the CT could be replacing the HS? 99.9% no, but we’re grasping at straws here, trying to sex up this post. Perhaps it’s best for us just to say, “we’ll know more in Geneva.” Tiny little information-free press release after the jump<\/a>.<\/p>\n
