Default The Next SC?

Lexus just posted this on Facebook. Looks like it could be a concept car for the next generation SC.

Here's a sneak peek of a concept vehicle that we'll be unveiling at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit on January 9, 2012. It was designed by Calty in Newport Beach and embraces Lexus' new design direction.

It is just me? The only thing I can see is a quarter of an alien face...

Yup and I can't wait to be abducted by that thing. Looks very intriguing. Which for Lexus is a huge thing as of late.

Hi Folks,

Trying to determine if it will look good or not from that photo is like looking at only a woman's hand & knowing if she is a size 4 or 14.



When I see one in person, I'll make up my mind.

Totally agree.....but you must agree that what we do see looks better than that same area of the last SC. At least it does to me.

My Dad works for a Lexus dealership and says the managers got to go check this thing out in Vegas. Said it was soooo sweet. And they also drove the new GS which they said was incredible. Looks like Lexus is really stepping up their game on performance/aggressiveness.

The new GS got to step up big time. The current GS has not received good reviews.
