TORRANCE, California — Lexus has released two more photos — but no more information — on the LF-LC, described by Toyota's premium brand as a "future hybrid sport coupe concept." The swoopy two-door will be formally unveiled next week at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show.
The LF-LC so far has been teased in a handful of official photos released ahead of the show by Lexus, as well as a series of photos from at least one publication that appears to have been given advance access to the car.
In a press release, Lexus said the concept is a 2+2 coupe that was "crafted from a clean sheet of paper" at Toyota's Calty Design Center in Newport Beach, California, and features "emotive, avant-garde beauty and unequalled technology" intended to "advance the redefinition of Lexus."
The car will be fitted with the company's Advanced Hybrid Drive, Lexus said, without providing further details.
Britain's Autocar magazine is speculating that the LF-LC concept prefigures a proposed Lexus coupe-cabriolet based on the big LS sedan and targeted for production around 2015 as a spiritual successor to the defunct SC coupe.
Inside Line says: Looks a bit like an LFA whose mother was scared by a GS 350.

Looks like a copy of the FR-S concept, minus the crazy grill.

The car overall styling is great with the exception of the front. The front probably will look like the new GS350. As for now, the front end looks like a whale shark feeding on plankton's.

Bold? Yes. Attractive? No.
Well, some of it looks good (sides, back). But the front is hideous. Watch the movie "Predator" again, and you will see the same face. A face only its mother could love.

Very nice but if this is going to cost more than $100,000 (which is mostly likely gonna happen) then I'd rather wait a little longer for the Lotus Elite which have similar proportions and would probably gonna cost less (that is if they survive longer).

So, because it's a concept, no one can comment?
That's it everyone, nothing to see here, everyone can go home.
