I know, I was referring to styling cues and lines that got nothing to do with regulations. Like the headlights, the kinks on the corner of the headlights, the air scoop by the rear quarter windows......etc.

Didn't say they are not functional

Please god let this car have a V8 and not a V6..................

Just stick the LS600's V8 hybrid drive in it as is and will be perfect, 440 combined hp, hopefully the car got some lightweight material to keep the weight down to 3500 lbs and this thing would rock

I wasted a couple hours today just mesmerizing. I can't stop staring at that *** and that dash

well, lexus was stagnant for awhile there until they released the 4 GS F-sport.
LFA was nice as a halo car, but way out of everyone's reach

Now they are going to bring this new SC-something wicked is coming

I am trying not to be greedy, because it is entirely possible that they would put a V6 hybrid drive in this thing with 400 hp, just like what the new NSX will have.

As long as it is a V8, I would be REALLY happy.

With everyone down sizing now a days, I am not optimistic about a V8 Seems like most cars are losing 2 cylinders, the SC430 is a V8..................

If they trim the weight down, 400~450 hp is enough to make it rock.

More stylish than the LFA, I really like it. I wonder what price range this is going to fit into.

From the looks of it there still is, but instead of operating it with a joystck you do it with a small touch screen. Personally I like it, and I think this is the best implementation of a remotely operated screen yet. (The old-fashioned touch screen is still the best IMO, although the trend nowadays is to move the screen further up and more in the driver's line of sight so an old-fashioned touch screen is no longer an option.)

$90k~$130k, about the same as a LS600.

Figure the IS350C is already $60k, the old SC430 was $70k. This is highend and is a hybrid, so it won't be cheap. I just hope is not more then $150k. With the price tag of the LFA, it can be anything.
