The LC-SC is angular with a massive spindle grille. Our SC’s have a classic curvy look with an understated grille, and larger headlamp assemblies.

Interesting the concept even has the small glass behind the rear seat like on the SC430...wonder if that will make it to production?

This photo is supposed to be the “production-ready” car according to Lexus Corporate for the LC 500 convertible. The wind deflector between the rear seats reduces wind turbulence and flow.

Still has that absurdly aggressive grille. The Carp that Swallowed Sapporo.

I agree. Looks like Darth Vader designed the front end in his likeness.
