Hi Nemesis, merry christmas.
In UK you can buy 3 and a half CT with the cost of one LS, in the USA only two and a third. thats why I think the pricing is odd, as if they are not interested in selling more luxury cars, they reach the target and thats it!
Perhaps has to do with the spare parts inventory ( CT has tons of common parts with Auris, so it is cheaper to support). But wouldn't be nicer if LS costed £50K rather than £72K.
That is the price it should have, if you compare it with the 7Series for instance that is more expensive than the LS in the USA.
