Good point, but if it looks anything like the renderings it looks just like an IS350 with two doors. I guess if it is a GS Coupe the renderings are out the window, although they are close to the concept coupe already shown by Lexus.

I would love to have a coupe (or convertible) with close to the same hauling capacity as the GS sedan. Maybe the LF-LC will be the larger coupe? Who knows.

The IS has always been a derivative of the GS chassis. The dimensions of the LF-CC concept are smaller than the current 4th Generation GS...and look to be on par with the 3rd Generation IS.
