That Autospies pic was taken at the recent LA Auto Show. They had many of those concept posters posted up all over the place. This particular Lexus Concept is amazing~!

I was right. Autospies if full of crap. They took the same pics they took 3 weeks ago and re-posted it as a Lexus coupe. Here is the original link

Pasadena school of design sponsored this competition at the LA show and we were very impressed with the entries shown here.

Went to the LA Auto show to look at that drawing, its a half sedan half coupe. One side had two doors and the other side had one door.

Wow I missed that poster at the show. By the looks of it, it's a Calty Design Research Inc. project judging by the logo at the bottom.

Exclamation

Grill looks like a cross between the current Cadillac non-V series design theme and the new Audi maw. Some significant grace to the profile, tho, despite the "let's make the beltline high and make 'em feel like they're in a fort and boy, don't we look muscular" look.

(I know it's very old, but I had 3 Preludes back in the mid 80s and that low beltline, esp to the front, really enhanced the driver sightlines; you always felt as if you knew exactly where the corners of the car were and could literally stick the car on the apex. Not a bad thing if you think about it..........)
