No quattro apparently. I live in Denver, CO. I need 4wd. If they ever ship this, or any other diesel car, to the states with 4wd, I’ll be the first in line for one. Until then, my 2004 Jetta TDI will keep on doing its thing, i guess.

[...] The CT 200h is Lexus’ least expensive vehicle in the U.S. and the practical and good-looking five-door hatchback has its own platform. You won’t find another Lexus or Toyota like this one. Designed with the European market in mind, the CT 200h is clearly going after the buyers of diesel five-door versions of the BMW 1er Series (not available in the U.S.) and the Audi A3 TDI. [...]

I currently have both a 2009 Jetta Sportwagen TDI and a 2011 A3 TDI.
The Jetta is portly and ponderous when compared to the tight little Audi.
The A3 has earned Bilsteins, Stoptech brakes, harnesses and a set of Hoosiers for ACNA track events while the poor Jetta is relegated to taking the dogs to the Bay.
If you want a nice high mileage runabout the Jetta is a fine choice but for pure driving enjoyment the Audi is leaps and bounds ahead.Still not sure if its worth $10,000.00 more though.
