Perhaps the Lexus version of the Mirai?

Sadly, I'm not getting a good vibe on the color combo I'm seeing (orange and lime green?)

I think this is going to be the new IS-C hard top or cabriolet convertible. Hopefully it looks good.

Yeah this seems lame.

Lexus is trying too hard really. I don't think it's hit them yet that their orange color is absolutely hideous. As if the RC wasn't ugly enough already...

I actually think the new design language works great on the IS, ES, GS, and refreshed LS. The RC could pull it off but they went over the top. It looked neat for a few months then aged quickly. That's what happens when you go too crazy with the styling.

To me I have your exact opinion esp the es since I have it. But the suvs are also nicely done. As for the rc it must be fsport or an f. Not the normal one.

Just a wild guess.

Another teaser. Yeah this is definitely the rear reflector light thingy of the 3IS. Also they have a few more pics showing off "HOT" related things. Such as the seat warmers which now have a red button with a Flame symbol above them instead of the traditional heat wave symbol. Also the fact that the car in question is a redish orange color along with green exhaust tips and accenting I'm just gonna assume this car is a special "habanero" edition IS....

Jk obviously. But I'm sure it's just gonna be some special trim line as mentioned above with the added features of Super heated seats and what not. But whatever it is, its likely not anything new in terms of speed such as an ISF. But we'll have to wait and see

May this new reveal be a die-cast toy
