This is a good thread, don't ruin it with your peeves.
Just relax. We have a new concept coming. Don't get all bent out of shape with labels like, 1 door hatch, 2 door box, or a 5 door dog.

Since everyone has a strong Feeling that this is a possible SC prototype and/or concept...
.. it would only be logical to add the "LF" designation in front of it...
LF = Lexus Future
Again, just an educated guess..!!!

With BMW's flawed logic, presenting the World's First and Only Two Door Sedan...The BMW 6 Series Gran Sedan...we'll add two more doors and call it the Gran Coupe...

^For those who don't know...
ES vs Camry = platform sharing
BRZ vs FRS = rebadging

6 pages from one pic.
for a concept that won't look the same if/when it becomes a production vehicle.
i still think concept cars are a huge waste of time and money.

I definately can see them backing off of the more aggressive design we are seeing in the teaser, which may have something to do with the aerodynamics of the final design. Functionality over aesthetics I'm sure.
