Lexus Debuts Mystery Coupe

Lexus debuted a gorgeous mystery coupe, dubbed the LF-CC, and took all the fun out of it by making it a hybrid. I’ll take an Audi S5, thanks. Does anyone see a hint of Scion FR-S in the rear view of this car?

    I see more than a hint of FR-S here, and not just in the rear view, but in all of the hard points. Look at the sculpted, concave area at the top of the front fenders leading into the front doors. Look at the sweep of the doors' lower edge. Look at the distance between the front wheels and the front door. Look at the length of the front overhang. Look at the C-pillar and rear window. Look at the bustle of the trunk. I think we're looking at an FR-S-based Lexus 2+2 with a spiffed-up interior, wider track, bigger wheels, and bigger engine.

    Anyone besides me think this would make a drop-dead gorgeous roadster? Or, better, a drop-dead drophead....more poetic. An honorable successor to the SC of the early 90's.
