Lexus LF-LC / LC500 thread



On January 9 at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show, Lexus will show off a new concept designed by Lexus' Newport Beach design center, Calty that "showcases the new design direction embraced by Lexus." And with that bit of information you know exactly as much about this new concept vehicle as we do.

IS seems all wrong. GS is freshly designed. ES is a worse guess than IS but better than GX, RX, LX or LS.
So we're either looking at an FR-S/BRZ in Lexus clothes or a 2014 Lexus SC that might actually capitalize on the Sport Coupe name.

What say you?

I think it's 3rd gen IS concept or maybe ES because they need a new ES to along go with Camry.

I wouldn't be surprised if they used the same platform as the AS1, maybe modified, maybe not, really can't tell much from the little picture.

Yes, it's crying because it's going to fast without any eye protection.

Edmund's Insideline Straighline blog seems to think this will either be an SC replacement or a derivative of the AS1 platform

Hopefully, it's affordable(40K) for a SC and weighted less than 3000lb.
