I think the RC350, which is most likely the name for the Lf-cc, is not what it would be the GS coupe, it would be the IS coupe as they say in the article.... where did you see about the "CC" and the "LC" names? Or did I miss something?

Plus, I think it's safe to say that the LF-CC is pretty much a 3g IS since it's practically the same car just missing a pair of doors. And even lexus hinted it when they said, before the unveiling of the 3g IS, that if people wanted a preview of the 2014 IS, to go and look at the LF-CC

I won't believe anything until I see it. Lexus has been successful with mostly sedans. The SC430 didn't sell as well as expected. I don't see many IS coupe verts around either. Lexus may be viewing the world with blinders on. Instead of realizing they haven't given us a beautiful coupe since the SC300/400, they may be convincing themselves coupes don't sell well.
BMW sells coupes.
Benz sells coupes.
Lexus doesn't seem to really care.
I'll believe it when I see it.

I see 4 doors in that little car picture in the dash, if thats what you were trying to point out. It does not look like a 2 door to me, sorry.

Because that picture is off a 3IS F-Sport

OP was referring that future Lexus products/F-Sports would have digital tachs like that

I just want a new SC. Three new coupes would be great. They need to quit screwing around and put them on the market.

There are only two coupes being planned for the Lexus line up.

LF-LC will take about 4years to hit showroom.

IS coupe / LF-CC will now become RC. The RC fits in between the IS and GS sedan.

But I would love for Lexus to make a GS coupe and or a coupe based on it (SC).
