it is obviously far fetched concept... dunno why is everyone so crazy about it... it will probably show next to nothing about actual future vehicle, as usual.

Fixed.

It needs to be an 'LFA light' with possibly a V8 for it to succeed and hybrid completely should be out of question and Lexus will have another winner here.

You and I are going to disagree on this one. As someone from a family with a dozen Lexus cars I don't think you can be objective.

The interior of my 3GS was completely ****.

RoadandTrack blew it. Here's the concept:

Make it look like that and it would be an epic win.

Me thinks they took the original aluminum bodied LFA, tuned it down performance wise, rebodied it fashion wise and will make it a glass roof targa instead of a full vert. All very strange but a tremendous use of already sunk engineering dollars (Yen) if true.

^Cool find! Looks like a rebodied LFA, which is a good thing.

It certainly does look like a rebodied LFA, but I think it looks very good. Calty did not dissapoint, this is what the production LFA should have looked like. I wonder what being a rebodied LFA means in terms of a future production model though.

I'm betting/guessing this is the $100-125K-ish R8 competitor that has been rumored for the last few years...

Exactly. I'll believe it when it gets released......in 3 to 10 years.

I don't know. The front is hideous, looks like something Huyndai would design.

The side skirt says HYBRID.

Damn it Lexus... not everyone wants a hybrid.

Koma, you have excellent eyes.

I owe you a big dish of JP Licks when I am back East.

My wife would let me get anything with a hybrid.

The recent info said this was supposed to be the LC 600h so you just eagle eye confirmed it
