2006 Lexus LF-C Concept
Is Lexus seriously going to turn that concept into a production car?
I like the wheels and the back, but I think that the front and the side looks a bit too simple.

Not bad, really. A bit weird, the side lines aren't proportionated. The back arche has a greater angle (front to back) than the front one, not good. And that roof is just an ugly too simple. On the good side i like the front and the back, nice effort to be original yet keep it minimalistic.
1 ) Any interior pics?
2 ) Maybe some specs to go along?
3 ) Is it just me that think this is to rival the S2000?
4 ) So why is Lexus going against Honda, shouldn't they be on the look out for Acura instead?!
5 ) Or is it cuz a Toyota badge would make it underestimated?
6 ) When are they planning it for?
:arrow: 8/10 Good effort... (The answers may make this variate, a lot)

i think it´s ugly, when you look at it from the side it´s tooooo simple, nothing special. The only thing i like in this ride are the rims and the Lexus emblem...

Sorry I didn't find any other pics, or the specs, I think it does rival the S2000, and I don't know when it's coming out.
But I do know that they are planning to offer it in a sedan, coupe, and convertible version.

Damn looks a hole lot of fun, but the design looks extremely "concept car to me", if the are going to sell it maybe they'll change some of it.
Btw altezza, great interior pics, the blue light looks real good

Looks way too bland on the exterior. almost like they spent all their time just designing the interior only.

The exterior looks like a Saturn somehow. The interior...is trying too hard.

design of the exterior is to simple and to much edge on the car, but the interior IMO is very futuristic. And maybe this lexus would just be some car that will be used in the Minority Report sequel...

From the side it looks like a FIAT (forgot the name of it) from the front it looks like an S2000, and from the top it looks like a movie theatre.
