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?

- Michael S6 Very confusing if the move is permanent or temporary.
- Jrhurren Worked in Detroit 18 years, live 20 minutes away. Ren Cen is a gem, but a very terrible design inside. I’m surprised GM stuck it out as long as they did there.
- Carson D I thought that this was going to be a comparison of BFGoodrich's different truck tires.
- Tassos Jong-iL North Korea is saving pokemon cards and amibos to buy GM in 10 years, we hope.
- Formula m Same as Ford, withholding billions in development because they want to rearrange the furniture.

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.
