If they use the LFA moniker it would be strange to have LFA-F....but then again they went with IS 350C (instead of the hypothesized IC 350), so Lexus is not always making things exactly the same (LFA could have the F in the middle).

Why would the have called it IC? it's a variant of the IS not an individual model like the SC.

Agreed with Phillip, LF does mean Lexus Future and should only be used on concepts. Unless this is Lexus' clever way of telling us the production vehicle will always and forever be stuck in concept land.

That said, XX-F doesn't work either because that assumes that there will be a normal version of the XX which there clearly will not be. So maybe getting rid of the hyphen in LF-A makes the LF mean something different now.
