Default Rendered: Lexus RC "Four Door Coupe"







Gotta say, it's not so bad. I could see it working.

The GS should have been redesigned as a 4-door coupe, like a Rapide.

A four-door RC is an IS.

except from a sales perspective. To stay relevant you must compete

Looks nice, but never going to happen. Toyota Motor Co, is so averse to small, niche volume type models that the business case for this model to come to light would be difficult to overcome. Lexus would have to give up the GS or IS in order to gain this.

But the RC isn't built on an IS platform (but I know what you mean).

I thought about that for a "hwile" and I gotta agree.

This will definitely end the confusion and the decision (for the confused buyers) on whether to buy the ES vs. GS debate.

Not really if the IS-F is at the end of the road... all it needs is RC-F badge and quad exhaust

I'd rather they refresh GS and give it a coupe profile.

Gotta say that shape looks better than both the A5 Sportback and the 4 Series Grandcoupe.
