..........and, although it did not get to actual production like the Plymouth Prowler did, let's not forget this one..............

Yes, this was an actual Lexus concept-car.....not just a redone '32 Ford Deuce roadster.

So the ES, which is just an expensive Camry with an "L" on it, is legendary? The 2nd generation IS is legendary for what, getting sucked into L-Finesse?
Gen1 did nothing, except give us a fun and affordable sports sedan, kept the 2JZ, and spawned certain taillights that where used by the majority of automakers, and still see an influence on some today. It also did
not follow any other design. I would agree with the Soarer/SC.

The LFA and 2nd Generation GS are iconic Lexus designs.
