^^Looks pretty good to me, I would love an LS coupe, but I prefer they differentiate it more from the sedan with a more aggressive front end.

Except it's not a convertible, & it will have much better rear seat room like the CL-class.
I think Lexus should have BOTH a real 4-seater coupe AND a hardtop convertible for their high-end models.

That's why I said if they were to make a LS coupe, they should differentiate the appearance a bit more from the sedan version.

I hate these renderings. They get me all excited thinking Lexus may see it and actually consider building one. I still don't believe there will be an IS type coupe. Lexus has been successful without coupes. I would love to see it but just don't believe it will ever happen.

Thank you thank you Robarapta

I agree about differentiating it from the sedan....of course this is preliminary.
They just chop the 2 rear doors and pushed everything forward

Not stunning like how the CL is from the S class, but not ugly.

We'll just keep waiting and see what lexus is going to do...if they do decide on an LS coupe.

That's a nicely done rendering, although I expect the SC to be even more curvaceous.

Except it's not as cool.
The CL exudes class with it's pillar-less setup and the extreme perception of length it has.

This rendering doesn't have anything. I'm glad Lexus won't build this; it'd be a shame.

This concept is something we have all been discussing for a while now, and I think this first photochop looks pretty good. I wish they would do something like it.

First thing I thought when the link flashed on the screen was Acura RL.

Interesting chop, but that rear window looks enormous and unsupported.

Wouldn't want to be in a rollover in this one (or anyone for that matter ).
