I like that much better than the LFA ... it's reminiscent of the SC just enough to make it feel "familiar". IMHO

gorgeous! a perfect blend of gen1/gen2 SC's and more aggressive styling with the hybrid too? No brainer!

This sounds good, a stylish hardtop convertible with the LS600's drivetrain in it tuned to 500 hp. I just hope they get the styling right, as I don't love all the latest generation Lexus's styling, even the LFA don't look that hot....even when it is a REALLY hot car

500 hp should be nice, as the current 300 hp in my SC430 feel a little low sometime when I really want to feel the rush.

I would like to have a LFA roadster, mostly due to the amazing sounding V10, but I don't predict it will ever depreciate down to a price I can afford.

How do being a hybrid have anything to do with it being a convertible or not?

I'm thinking brake vents. Side exhaust there would be strange piping for cats.

Looks great, too bad concepts never "really" make it to production.

From that angle, to me, it has a vaguely BMW 6 series look and feel too.
