I voted for the GS coupe.
Ideally I think a GS coupe that was shorter in length (somewhere between the GS and IS) and a little lower to the ground would give it a good wide muscular look. I think that car would do very well

Originally, I've been waiting for an IS coupe. But now after seeing the IS go thru many different variants IS250, IS350, ISF, IS-C. I personally think an IS coupe wouldn't do Lexus much Justice because Lexus needs a real luxurious vehicle that can translate true refinement with more power on tap so if given the choice I would have to vote on a GS Coupe.

I'm sure this won't be well received but it's all cool. How about if Lexus produces an ES coupe. Just bring over the Toyota Solara to the Lexus side. Yes it will have FWD. It will sell to the masses and won't be well received with enthusiasts. The ES and RX sells in droves and brings in tons of revenue and ultimately profit for Toyota which in turn can be used for R&D and manufacturing costs for projects like the LF-A, IS F, GS F and so on.
Also Toyota or Lexus doesn't have a hybrid coupe or convertible. Here's a chance to expand the ES line and hybrids all together. This is what the ES line could look like.
ES 350
ES 350 C (hypothetically fixed hardtop coupe)
ES 450h C (hypothetically fixed hardtop coupe hybrid)
Of course Lexus should accomodate the enthusiasts as well. Expand the IS line with a fixed hardtop coupe and a hybrid coupe/convertible as well.
IS 250/350 C (hypothetically fixed hardtop coupe)
IS 450h C (hypothetically fixed hardtop coupe/convertible hybrid)

Isn't the SC pretty much a GS coupe? Pointless IMHO.
IS coupe would be nice.... SC i can't wait to see...
But what do I really want? an SLK/Z4 competitor, preferably mid-engined to help set it apart from the competition and in spirit revive the MR-2 thanks.
p.s. If the CT is a weak fwd hybrid, I don't really want to hear anything about it.

I said IS coupe (of the NON-vert variety) ... but I'd like to see it as an F model more than anything.
Coupes + Fs =![Big Grin](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
I mean, I like performance coupes so anything of that nature is a go for me.

I did vote GS coupe but I'd love them all. The GS has always been a swoopy design, I am unsure why they refuse to make a 2 door. Its one of the appeals to me, I like the fact its coupe like inside and cozy.
The future CEO in me would love a big LS coupe. Big, brash, huge grill
with the same taunt Germanish proportions.
An IS coupe would clearly be the most fun and an IS-F coupe would be so so so fantastic.
I welcome a smaller CT coupe or hybrid coupe as well.
Trexus brought up an ES coupe and they ALREADY made a Solara. Not sure why an ES coupe was not made. I am sure people would line up to buy it.
Overall Lexus has A LOT of potential with coupes and I hope we see some in the near future!

I love the first generation SC, ever since I was a kid and they were released I have loved them. I bought mine about 5 years ago and plan on keeping it forever. Very few cars, new or older, appeal to me in the same way that my SC does.
The next Lexus coupe I would like to see would be a redesigned SC, with the spirit of the 1st gen SC. It would be a 2+2 with a hardtop and a true manual transmission option. I would like to see styling that is more of an evolution of the 1st gen SC than the SC430. It would be great to have an option of two engines, maybe the 3.5 V6 and the 5.7 V8 both with the option of a 6 speed manual. Ideally the car would be reasonably light(3400-3700lbs) and great handling with a weight distribution of close to 50/50. It would be cool if the rear quarter windows could roll down, and I would like to a see a roof and other panels constructed out of carbon fiber to keep the weight down.
Of course an F version with a supercharger and over 500 hp would be necessary in my dream world as well...
But if nothing like this ever comes down the pipeline I would like to see a true IS350 coupe. Without the goofy lines on the rear of the IS-C. I would still like to see a true manual transmission in this car instead of the dual clutch gearbox that the 350 comes with currently.

Of course Lexus will bring in the next generation SC but expand it.
SC 350 (hypothetically fixed hard top coupe)
SC 460 (hardtop convertible)
SC 450h (hypothetically hybrid fixed hard top coupe)
SC F (high performance mid-level coupe)
