According to our friends at Thule, the OutWay 2 Bike Trunk Mounted Rack you referred to, part # TH45JV would indeed fit your Lexus CT200h. The OutWay uses an innovative retracting cable system to attach to the vehicle, rather than the difficult to use strap and buckle system used by other trunk mounted racks.

If you'll be transporting women's bikes or bikes with sharply-angled top tubes, you might also consider a frame adapter bar like part # 64005. The bar spans the distance between the handlebar gooseneck and the seat post, which provides a secondary attachment point for the bike rack. This allows the bike to be carried level, which maximizes ground clearance.
