Food for thought, especially now that the BMW 6 series "coupe" is out....what if Lexus made a GSc "coupe" in the vein of the CLS? Something much more svelte as opposed to just a 2 door GS? I know this isn't what we want to hear, but it makes sense. Then they could keep a SC at a much higher price point? Personally, I hope the SC returns at the 50k range and an LC at the 100K as a mini LFA.

Let's keep the LF-LC out the picture for now. This would be a coupe between the ISc and any possible future LF-LC.

Does it also matter how the vehicle looks? If its upright in the veins of a A5/S5 should it be a GSc. If its more swoopy, like a 6 series should it be called the SC?
GS C. Keep the SC dead. Lexus needs an IS C ("C" for coupe, not convertible) before all of that.

Looks absolutely matter. It should not be styled conservatively like a bland piece of bar soap like the A5/S5. The new 6, however, looks damn good.

The extra 2 seats were added last minute to import the SC to the USA from Japan. The reason for this was because if the SC came in only two seat form it would have been slapped with a $2000 tariff.
