Teaser photo looks sporty mean! Nice. Whatever it is i hope Lexus offers a proper manual transmission as an option atleast. i know, i know that paddle shifters are the way of the future and take milliseconds for a blip shift but there’s no substitute for heel/toe fun. And last but not least, power, power, power! i know good power to weight ratio is key for superb handling and imports usually japanese (some euro cars, Lotus for example) are notorious for having a light car; and since it's light they only slap a modest powerplant using that reason to be under-powered a tad bit. Is it too much to ask Lexus for a light, near 50/50 weight distribution luxury/semi-exotic sports car with gobs of power????? If a Lexus like that came into fruition, it would shut a lot a people up in a good way and maybe alleviate some stigma that Lexus is bland old persons car and/or just another VIP to slap big wheels on, drive slow and look like a Yakuza Baller. Domestic lovers always want more horsepower, SO GIVE IT HORSEPOWER, Import Lovers demand good handling, refined engineering and heritage, GIVE IT ALL THAT!!! Voila’ a badass credible Lexus sports car for the semi ballin'/good credit masses!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can i get an AMEN? or not, it's koo

What if it is the 6ES design?

The ES has been evolving into a 4 door coupe style, and the dealers are saying the new ES is going to look very sexy.

Hey bud, ES is already done, this won't be the ES. It will debut soon though.

Yes! But don't take an SC "coupe" for granted because the last-gen wasn't. Glad it's back to the coupe form though.
