Just a theory.

Third gen SC is long overdue. I would love to see it as a "true" SC = sports coupe. SC-F is just the F version of the third gen SC.

Wasnt the LF-A production version set to debut at tokyo this year along witht he production GT-R?

If not, then im sure lexus will world premiere LF-A production version in NAIAS January 2008, for a early spring 2009 release as 2010 model. This actually makes more sense as i recall reading somehwere LF-A (or wutever production is called) would be for sale in spring 2009 as a 2010 model year vehicle. But dont quote me on this.

Make no mistake about it, this car is no SC and will have nothing to do with it.

What do you think the US price for the LF-A will be?...there is no way (IMO) that the car can go for what it will be priced at in China. If it is, I'll have to look elsewhere (Aston Martin V8 N400).

I came up with 3 names the LF-A could use:

SC-F (Sports Coupe)
GT-F (Grand Tourer)
GC-F (Grand Coupe)

Who cares what letter combination they use, just release the thing already!

Please refer to post #620 for a good guesstimate.

This board has been quiet for too long...but I can't find any new info anywhere. You would think that with the Tokyo Auto Show being less than 6 weeks away that we would have some leaks.

I'm looking forward to the coverage out of Tokyo...I vividly remember waiting with baited breath, that evening in 2005 when the LF-Sh, the precursor to the next-gen Lexus LS, was released...bring on the LF-A!

It really seems that the spy vids show an almost production ready car...which leads me to think that it would be too long to wait until spring 2009 for the debut. There was not this much wait on the Audi R8 before it was released.
