When I look at the LF-C concept, I see a 2 door, hard-top convertible with a V8. You were saying somethingabout an IS?

Truth be told, yes the IS front and LF-C front do share a resemblance, but for those that thinks its an IS coupe, I believe Lexus pulled a fast one on you.

Regardless, that awful rear end of the LF-C concept should not appear in any future SC, IS-coupe or any Lexus products in any remotely similar form

The only thing really bad about the LF-C rear are the lights and some odd lines IMHO

Second-gen G is not debuting at the same time (sedan is already out, coupe will be here shortly).

Also, Lexus should have never offered IS in a sedan configuration anyways, since it is a coupe, judging by the rear seat legroom. I was amazed at how they managed to create a car that has so little space in the rear, in comparison to its outward dimensions. It is beaten only by Mustangs and Camaros for bludgeoning the interior space to death (IMO).
