Nice! I would have purchased this over my GS Fsport! However, it's still missing something...The Vossen CV3's look really good!!!

Personally, I'm a sedan kinda guy.

But a GS coupe would definitely be a game changer

That looks great but this is what needs to be for the IS line up

Looks nice but needs to be something more than a GS minus two doors to compete with A5/S5 and E Coupe and upcoming 3 Series Coupe.

I agree hopefully they add some more character to the GS coupe.

Definitely has potential. Like stated, some character and aggressiveness would make it THAT much nicer.

I would be very interested in a GS coupe. I believe it would set Lexus on fire....with new business.

That car pictured above will not do well (imho). It's too plain looking and in a segment with the E-Coupe (cheaper than E-class, on C-Class platform and with nicer styling) and the 6 series (more expensive than 5-series and on a higher platform with nicer styling and a top notch interior). A middle-of-the-road GS coupe based on the GS platform won't sell well or be quite as economically viable.

My opinion is they need to build a "Coupe" on the GS platform, and give it a new name (SC again?) and fancy up the interior. Position it against the 6-series but at a decent price advantage.

Just my thoughts - and coming from a long-time Toyota/Lexus fan and a GS350 F-Sport owner.

The roof line and proportions look off. The wheels themselves are sweet, but it looks like a chubby CT ran into an IS C.

I agree... I'm a sedan kinda guy myself but the wheels make the car. Something is missing. Looks to BMW like which Lexus is not...

I like the coupe, but the wheels look wrong to me.

It's a photoshopped image though that's why. If they did make a GS coupe, i'm sure the roofline and proportions wouldn't really look like that.
