NAIAS 2012: Lexus LF-LC

  In recent years, Lexus has been trying desperately to change their reputation of being boring.  The IS-F, LFA, and new GS are all far more exciting than any previous offerings from Lexus, and now they're previewing what's next for the revamped brand with the LF-LC concept.

  The 2+2 sports coupe is a jaw-dropping styling concept, with a new curvy take on the typical Lexus spindle grill, and flamboyant "L" shaped headlights.  The sporty profile resembles a larger, more elegant version of the new Scion FR-S coupe, and the rear of the car flaunts aggressive tail lights inspired by jet afterburners.  

  Unfortunately, the LF-LC will not be produced, as it is only a futuristic design study.  However, the design elements could easily make their way to a replacement for the recently discontinued SC.
