Do you think we'll ever see a GS-C ?

GS hits the sweet spot for me, no way will I get a IS, LS is too big for me, GS is just the perfect compromise
The 5 series, A6 and E-class has a size difference when compare to other models in their lineup. The GS is the same size as the ES350.

How do you figure the ES and GS are in the same class? The GS is a bespoke chassis, RWD/AWD configuration, shares no major or even minor components with the ES and is bigger, much more luxurious and 1000% better looking. You could never mistake the two.

the ES is a Camry with wood and leather and more powerful engine. It's a boring family sedan with some silly trappings.

Those pics are killler!!!!!!! Maybe by the time i rack up enough money. Lexus will come to their senses and create a coupe similar to Jack's photos!

Dont get me wrong, i LOVE the GS sedan and will really think about buying it when im ready to buy my second car. (Because the LS is tooooooo pricey, the ES is...well..not my cup of tea and the IS 2nd gen is too common; i see them EVERYWHERE!) But if Lexus actually makes a GS-C and looks similar to Jack's photos, i'd def. go with the coupe!

If you guys look at the sales numbers of all the Lexus coupe ever made, you will understand why this will never happen.
