There were rumors that Lexus wanted a CLS, A7, and 6-Series Gran-Coupe fighter. Either that or the next gen LS sedan flagship?

Other gran coupes seems to have shorter trunk as well.






VS current LS460 and other full size sedans.

Infiniti is also reported to be working on a Gran Coupe of their own. Some are saying it will be called the Q90?
