It's a chop, but a good one. I like it.

Perhaps they got the designation wrong? Looks to me like the IS coupe!!!

The front does look like an IS, but the rear is definately very unique. The exhausts look like a derivative of the LF-Sh concept. I don't see this as the new SC.

I still think that the LF-C concept will become the new SC, and perhaps this will become the IS coupe/convertible.

LOL, the chops from Japanese magazines almost never have any merit . . .

The first pic looks better than the LF-C, IMO.

Looks good but too much of a 350Z/G35c clone IMO.

Looks pretty good.... The rear looks like a stretched out TL rear end with the dual exhaust and trunk.... Very sporty IMO much like the 350Z and g35 like mentioned above...

Its ugly and looks like that may be the car they will debut in detroit. Hopefully the sc stays a retractable hardtop but goes back to being a sport coupe like the original.
