I don't see the corrlation of that logic.

But Lexus should have made the LFA out of steel and mass produce it for a price tag of less then $150k as a 911/R8/SL competitor........calling it either SC500 or SC-F. That would be a much better success then the current LFA. I am sure a lot of current SC430 owners are ready for an upgrade.

 

I know im ready

 

I digress...it wouldn't have gotten nearly as much press and praise like the LFA did.

These things come in stages, fun Lexus coupes are in our future!

 

I am truly looking forward to that. For one, there needs to be an IS or GS coupe...If not both. And I anticipate the evolution of the SC once Lexus resurrects it again. Let's hope it's a CL fighter or a at least the size of the 6 Series. Until then we anxiously await Thursday for a real peek in to the future of Lexus.

 

Two more days!!!!

 

She's already been leaked!

Still I'd prefer to see the actual launch car and higher res pics.

 

ummmm....pass

 

My only problems are with the fog lights and the chrome extending too far into the grill, otherwise even in this white and poor resolution it looks pretty good. It's bold, that's for sure. Loving the subtle "hips" at the rear.

 

Wow surprised it leaked! Still would prefer as well official high-res pics, but this will suffice for now. The white hides a lot of the muscular body lines unfortunately, and the wheel gap there is because its the AWD model, but otherwise it looks good even in white. Even in white you can see how pronounced the fender flares are.

Love how aggressive the front and rear ends are. Amazing tail light design from Lexus, this along with the CT and LFA are all awesome tail light designs. I hope that means the new ES, IS, and LS get similar awesome tail designs. Both the head and tail lights look very sophisticated, jewel-like and expensive, fitting only for a Lexus. The head and tail lights also clearly set this apart from any Toyota models. Also like the subtle diffuser in the rear.

IMHO Lexus nailed the exterior design this time. No awkward angles, or bulbous parts to the car. I think this will be a car that pleases a lot of 2GS fans. Cant wait to see more pics .

 

Nooo...my eyes! I was saving it for Pebble Beach!

Watermarks are simplified Chinese so its probable to have been spied in China.

I was very reserved about online pictures of IS-C and CT until I saw them in person, it won't be much different with the GS but I do like what I see. Can't wait for GS-h

 

A lot of the lines and surfaces are still hidden in that they don't translate well in these shots, plus the white doesn't help. Still I am excited by these pics, front and rear are definitely strong points but the side remains to be seen fully. It's a very bold looking car that will definitely stand out, command attention and presence next to say a 5 series. It certainly can't be confused with any Toyota and that is a big plus.

Let me apologize in advance for showing you guys this, I would have preferred to wait as well but it's a leak.

 

Don't apologize! I couldn't wait two more days to see this lol! I must say, I am really liking it. A little bit more toned down than I would have preferred, but it's not a big deal. I think she's gorgeous. To me, there's a lot more BMW/Nissan/Infiniti queues than the Audi queues everyone was expecting (i.e. the front fascia). I can't wait to see actual hi-res photos.

 

MODS ... can we please put **SPOILER WARNING** in the title??

Im sure some of us don't want to see it and are waiting for the official reveal.

I caught a glimpse, but closed the window before I could soak in the details ... Want something to look forward to at pebble beach!!

 

VERY NICE! I love the design overall! The front is very modern and stylish and the squarish headlights are just right. Love those rear lights, although they look very much like the current Hyundai Sonata.
Can't wait to see the debut. If they are going to be styling their sedans like this, I'm keeping them at the top of my list.

 

Wow! Those headlights are gigantic. Grill splitter needs to be matte black so bad!

Overall huge thumbs down for base trim. Lets wait for F-Sport and Hybrid.
