Doesn't look like there's a space to put a bicycle, not that that matters anymore.

The car shares the Prius drivetrain, even that has some differences, otherwise the car has nothing in common with a Prius. I know, I own both. Anyone who thinks that different models of cars sharing a common platform (and the CT is on the Corolla/Matrix platform) can't be completely different is clueless about automotive design, but of course that includes 98% of the world, so that's nothing new. The Prius and CT couldn't really be more different.
Note to VV: I have managed to fit THREE full sized bicycles in the back of the CT once I fold down the rear seats. When we gig, I can fit my entire PA system, two guitars, a large guitar amp and cabinet, mixer, cables, mics, stands, monitor, stool, etc. That's why I love the car. Looks sporty, fun to drive, super comfortable, and then it can suck up all my gear. It is tight for those gear-intensive gigs, but if you pack carefully, it all fits. Easy to load up the rear between the hatch and the two rear doors.
I NEVER did this before (repeated the same make/model of a car two cars in a row) but I just love the CT. They'll have another one presumably in a couple of years, but who knows what that will be like and who knows if they'll keep the pricing reasonable.
