That would be player...

it a regular coupe that was long and sleek. That said, I think there
would still be room for the current SC body style but with a different
name.

I am trying really hard to like it. I am...really. It would be easier if there weren't so many of the previous ones around because they just look too darn good.

gimme the SC430 interior
SC500 V8? 6spd manual maybe some freshening up and all the features people listed here
I heard the next LS might be an LS500... so why not a SC500 ehehe
but honestly... give it to me at 30k hahaha j/p
Its hard to think that I would spend 60-70 grand on a car that I could have bought 13 years ago... no matter how nice
I just wish Lexus made a good looking coupe, something long lean but aggressive, clean is the way to go, like the G35
I thought the G35 would be a perfect replacement for my SC but... after driving one its just a different kind of coupe... doesnt have the class or finish the Lexus does, or the beautiful V8 sound. The G35 left me disappointed, I dont have a car that could replace my SC except a 2000 model eheh

I would agree it would need to have a similar wheel base and a overall general shape but I would also invision it to be alittle more defined lines to be trendy with the current lux-sports cars.
However being a sport coupe I dont think it should offer to many bells and whistles. It would need:
*Leather
*AC
*MT 5 or 6 i could live with
*More supportave seats than my 92
*I think it should have 400+HP, its time to devlope a 4.0-5.0L V10. High rever 8500rpm VVTL-i of coarse
*LSD dont care if its Viscious or torsion
*ABS 14 in. rotors and at least 4 pistons
*Cruise
*Weight at or under 3500lbs
*18in wheels
*CD player optional
Thats all i need. If I wanted more I wouldn't buy a sports car.
$0.02
