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 don't see the corrlation of that logic.

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.

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

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.

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.
