Lexus CT 200h and Mazda RX-8 Racer...

Perhaps one of the best and most interesting vehicles present at the NYC Auto Show and one of the least interesting...

The Lexus--yeah...another crossover, luxury, hybrid...whoopee!! Look!! It's in white even!! It goes on sale in early 2011 and yet, looks already dated. Supposedly it is built upon its own, unique platform and not a Camry or other Toyota derivative. Reports are that it will have a price of under $30K. I might believe the former as despite how vanilla the sheetmetal here is, it does not look too much like any other vehicle in the Toyota/Lexus lineup. The second point I highly doubt. A sub $30K Lexus?? Not likely.

The Mazda--I'll simply let you look at it. It's a badass looking race car. Everything a modern racecar should be and everything NAPCAR isn't...
