Lexus UC the GR86 Hybrid that we didn't think we needed
You guys believe in this report that Lexus is releasing a luxury hybrid version of the GR86 next year?

The thumbnail photo in that article of the orange "UC" looks bang on. I seriously like it. I honestly like it more than the GR or BRZ. I would love to see this come to fruition but I don't know... How would they even implement a hybrid system? The car's small as it is. It's whole shtick is to be lightweight and simple. Lexus would add a luxury (heavier) interior. Not to mention batteries for the hybrid system.

Stupid Lexus grill is still as stupid as a stupid Lexus grill.
If anyone was worried about how I felt about it.

Also replacing all the physical buttons and putting the Lexus interface with the pad on the center console.
What else they could offer? |

Yup, already talked about like 1-2 years ago. Could be that Toyota engineers were doing a bit of meme'ing with the camo.
It could also be that they were/ are testing whether a Lexus variant might work on the market, similar to how they gussied up the Corolla platform and made the UX. Making a Lexus that is priced higher and actually sells well enough could help to justify future development of the platform, hybridization, new features, etc., so the car doesn't just die out in a few years, which is the real fear given the bad sales history in recent years. |

i don't understand where this idea keeps coming from that the 86 was a sales flop.
