Question What new Lexus coupe would you like first?

Well the IS-C is kinda a coupe but not what we had in mind. The SC is clearly another hardtop convert. We have speculated and asked for more coupes.

So if Lexus brought one out, what would you want the most? Even if you could afford it or not.

LF-A is confirmed so it won't be included.

I voted GS Coupe, and after that I would want a true IS Coupe.

I voted a return to a full size coupe for the SC, however I doubt that would happen. My idea is that the SC would become more of a roadster and a IS coupe would be Lexus true coupe.

I voted for a real IS coupe as it should take the least effort for Lexus to design and should most likely bring in good sales volume for them. I just don't understand what's taking them so long to come up with one. They could've simply shaved off 2 doors from the sedan since it already looks like a coupe. But nooo.. they just had to force it into a disproportionate hardtop convertible with a butt that sticks out like an obvious afterthought that it is. Let's just hope the next-gen is right around the corner with every possible body variant fully thought out beforehand.

GS-sized coupe would be my first choice, but IS coupe would be good too. I'd seriously considering buying one.

Personally? GS coupe.

Best for the brand, right now? IS Coupe.

I would love a redesigned SC.

One that is sporty, light, and agile; with usable backseats.

Ain't I describing the 1st Gen SC?



Otherwise, if I want something a luxurious drop-top cruiser, an LS coupe would be nice.

Ain't I describing the 2nd Gen SC?

The 1st Gen SC needs to come back! For me personally, IS coupe.

True IS coupe to compete with the 335 and a redesigned SC!

I think that the SC line could support both a true coupe and hard-top convertible. I don't see why not, unless Lexus intends to keep the SC as a high-end convertible only and symbollically make a GS Coupe fill the role of an SC Coupe.
