The "What should Lexus make?" thread
Make the LF-LC as is. 
And I've been waiting for a sleek 4 door sedan, direct competitor to CLS, AM Rapide, Panamera, etc...
Definitely needs F and super-eco variants.
I also believe it is time for Lexus to go full time dedicated electric plug-in, if they want to stay above and beyond the competition in terms of eco-luxury cars, which they like to claim the throne to.

My point was that in BMW's case nearly half of the cars sold (3/5-series) is a stationwagon, and we all know that they sell PLENTY of these all over europe
Another thing is that the line between luxury/premium and anything else is kind of a grey area as you can get a 3-series/C-class/A4 with a (too) small engine and scraped clean of extra equipment for almost the same wad of cash as a better equipped "ordinary car" costs.
Mark my words - Lexus will not get to where they want to be (compared to the Germans) if they dont tend to this particular market

More luxury but with with some kick in HP... These arent from the same makes but i'd like to see something like this with Lexus stepping it up in everyway. I remember getting passed by a mercedes sprinter van and my jaw dropped. Blacked out with a classy kit... And a huge flat screen that i got only a glimps of through an open window. It was bigger than a van but smaller than a bus... Kinda like the size of those party buses. Caught up to um at a rest stop and they let me peek inside... Effin sick

Things they really need now:
A less ugly version of the current IS with a real coupe version.
Bring back the SC, and not the second gen abomination. Big, sleek, sexy two door coupe with a usuable back seat for 50-80k. Then sell a two seat convertible version with unique sheetmetal to compete with the SL Benz, charge more like 70-90k for that.
They could use a smaller SUV, those are very popular with women right now. It wouldn't be hard to make a "nice" Rav4.
As for the Supra, it should stay badged as a Toyota. As should the Scion FR-S, that should've been called a Toyota Celica. I'd buy the Suburu version just based on the principle that it doesn't have that stupid Scion badge on it.
