Lexus has pulled the veil on its LF-C2 concept car at the 2014 Los Angeles auto show.

Labeled as a design study, the LF-C2 will likely end up making production as a convertible version of th RC coupe, competing with the likes of the BMW 4-Series convertible and Audi A5 convertible. We've heard rumors that Lexus is also planning on giving the drop top treatment to the high-performance RC F coupe.

"The LF-C2 concept shows what's in store for our brand's future design direction," said Jeff Bracken, Lexus group vice president and general manager. "This concept shows consumers around the world Lexus' devotion to emotional designs as well as our passion for an exceptional driving experience."

Funny comment:

Okay, now that's going to turn some heads... and just as many stomachs.

But damn... either way you're going to look.

:lmao:

They just don't get it.

Look I am far from a Lexus person on most levels. I usually hate everything they do but this car as a coupe I love styling wise. Now as a drop top not so much but maybe it is the pictures. It does not help they chose a repulsive color like that.

They just don't get it.

It's funny but I hated this look with a venegence originally, now I'm starting to get it...

I think I saw something very similar this evening. I was watching "Alien vs. Predator: Requiem." It looks like one of the predators with the sideways mouth. Really.

 

[Copcarz]

I'll be glad when they stop using that "catfish sucking on a lemon" grille design.

The sculpting of the rear is very interesting, and very well done.

The rest is either inexcusable (The front end) or drab (the sides)

I agree with MonaroSS, this was a design I absolutely hated at first, but this one sort of makes sense to me.

 

[minnfang]

They've really amped up the ugly with the two different grille textures.

This design works much better as a convertible. And since it's already so heavy, no worries about the weight of it. BMW's hardtop verts on the other hand never look right.

 

[Envoy4Life]

I'm not going to lie, I love it. It's a very nice design and I hope it reaches production soon.

 

[Greg Burr]

This is the version of this grill design that I can like. Looks bad on all pof the other Lexus products

That concept is stunning and so is the production coupe I don't know what you guys see.

I wouldn't buy it but I like the red coupes looks....

Striking and what Lexus needs to do without dumbing it down....once they do that as they have done in the past it totally kills the looks...

Better to be cutting edge and make a strong statement rather than a weenie mobile half ass production car.
