Why longer wheelbase?? It's usually the other way around in order to compensate for lack of regidity/stiffness.

These new lexus's are a very sporty step forward for Lexus, I hope they sell well, so that they will still be making sporty cars by the time I can afford them. Also, why are 80% of the people on these site Mercedes Benz addicts? I swear its only one person who made 20 different accounts so they could push their view that hard and not look like an outcast.

what is up with that rear end?? looks like a rear engine car all the air intakes and look how high that thing gets back there... Seems the stylists struggle to establish a supercar design philosophy for the L brand and try hard to sell their one 3 year old thing in different colours over and over again. still not convincing....

The had that sort of rear in the LF-C concept ages ago, but then it looked inappropriate. Here it blends in much more. I still struggle to really like the frond end looks, but hey, you can still argue that its "at least not so every day". They should add some edgy stuff, details or maybe a diffusor lookalike. The back then would be a stunner, many clever bits throughout. The rear-mounted radiators make it look a bit outta-this-world but that's quite O.K. with me and will draw even more attention on it. I'd really like to have one of these. I hope they don't ruin it for all the safety rules and restrictions over here. Love, love!

The rear of the LF-C was sophisticated and clean, but didn't blend at all with that ugly simplistic front end that looked like a Kia concept at the time. In any case, I'd personally get the coup???? version (bolder, lighter and more personal) over this any time.

Aren't cabriolets meant for showing off anyway? I think the relatively high back sort of provides a privacy feeling. Should have a rear-mounted camera though, so you can clearly see who's behind ya'. :D I'd still get the Coup???? for I'm all shy. *laughs* Having read the "M3 CC" article, I'm sort of cured of cabriolets for now.
