Default Lexus GS Coupe

I don't know if you guys have heard about this yet but it seems Lexus has a GS Couple slated for 2013. What do you guys think? Interested? I was hoping they would bring back the SC but depending on what motor they use, cough detuned LFA cough, it could be really interesting.






Here's a link from edmunds with the photoshop rendering.

ehhhhh not feeling it. Really other than the 5 Axis 4gs I'm not feeling the 4gs at all. At least I havent seen any aftermarket stuff that makes it look anywhere near as good as the 5 Axis model

model.

A lower roof line, higher waistline and lower stance would do wonders.

The rear quarter seems to throw the proportions off a bit. Makes it look like its a hardtop vert.

if the door were more centered in the car it'd look a lot better, i.e. shifted back from the front fender a bit. Either that, or make it longer so it takes up some of that rear quarter weirdness a la Mercedes CL.

I'd be happier if they made it a little smaller and rebadged it as an sc.
