CT 200h

I am a big fan of vehicles which succeed in contradicting first impressions - Jaguar's C-X75 which looks like it's powered by a gas-guzzling 6-litre V12, but instead is propelled by a novel turbine-based hybrid powertrain, Volkswagen's 172 bhp Transport Sportline which could give a sporty hatchback a run for its money and Porsche's new 911 which offers 170 mph performance combined with near 40 mpg economy.

And now there's the Lexus CT 200h F-Sport. Kind of.
