I wouldn't get my hopes up... Lexus has a bad rep of being really slow with the competition... and other than the IS-F and the LFA, they've only been tree hugging lately

HS Hybrid = Toyota Corolla
CT Hybrid = Toyota Matrix
2012 Concept = Toyota Yaris

I still think the original SC was one of the best car designs ever.

Here's hoping this concept returns the SC to that level of excellence!

I'm not sure where you are getting your info as it is 100% inaccurate and should almost be deleted.

HS-Avensis based
CT-Prius based
2012 Concept has 265 width 21 inch FRONT tires. You think that is Yaris based?

Slow down there sport. Chances are this will preview the next IS/ISC more than it will the next SC.

^ES is coming down the pipeline before the IS, so who knows. This looks more like a sports car to me, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed for an SC replacement, sub-LFA sports car, or GS coupe.

Front tires are 265/21s up front and look how thin that fender is....I am betting some sort of coupe...
LFA II (highly doubt this)
SC coupe (good possibility)
GS coupe (strong possibility as Lexus has commented on this as of late)
FT based coupe (I don't think anyone has heard anything about this so its just a possibility based on the new vehicle for Toyota/Scion/Subie)

I doubt it would be an IS coupe yet but may show design language on the future IS coupe

The cheaper version of an LFA maybe?

With that headlight, and coupe like suggestions, I'd guess that it's the Lexus version of the FT with liberal use CF parts, and a 300+ hp engine . I think they will call it the next SC.
