I actually like it, at least Lexus is off the boring train. This design will evoke strong reactions.

interesting, its rather cool..

It has some I8 thing going on from the rear, around the windshield area

I have to say WOW, they get an A+ for effort for keeping as much of the concept as possible for the production car. This thing is stunning, if not exactly "pretty". I can't wait to see and eventually drive one.

Atrocious, absolutely atrocious!!!!!!

We make fun at the Chinese for copying or originating ugly or hideous designs. But here we have the Japanese who have been in the car business for nearly a century and with proper design studios and resources for 4 decades and still come up with crap like this?!

The strong opinion @rurella was hinting at

I agree btw, it's rather hideous. Though the proportions are nice and the interior looks upscale.

I love the interior - looks absolutely sumptuous. Exterior - oooo - knife-edge stuff, literally and figuratively.

Those two switches on the sides of the hump around the dials though.....

Looks like an elephant. LOL. Never seen anything like that before.

Doesn't the LFA have those?

 

[klier]

It appears so. Never noticed them before really. Or, they aren't as obvious and don't stand out as much:

Interesting.

 

[Star&Car]

I like some of the details but not the overall car..the steering wheel looks like a 7er one's copy.

 

[Gianclaudio]

I insist, how the Japanese, master at architecture and industrial design, come up with all these horrible cars (Mazda being the one and only exception) is beyond my rational thinking. It remains one of the unresolved mysteries of humankind
I prefered the boring Lexus of yore rather than the absolutely vulgar ones of nowadays.

On the other hand kudos for improving the interior presentation so much. Finally a Lexus that doesn't scream Toyota bin parts.

Wow this is most certainly an eye catching design that stirs the emotions and maybe causes a little bit of heated discussions and difficult choices whether to like it or not.

I like it for its sleek profile, I like the front grill, the wide rear haunches and the most is the fantastic looking interior, certainly the best to come out of Lexus. I have mixed feelings about the front lights and Nike DTRL though, but a very interesting looking car from Lexus.

From materials and quality stand point, it would be second best behind the LFA where a lot of aluminum and carbon fiber was used in the interior. Design wise, I guess that is a subjective thing.

Great contrast to what the boring Germans are doing at the very least.

EDIT: Also probably the most interesting interior I have seen since the i8/i3.

 

[Centurion]

Call me crazy, but I love it.

Nice touch with the chrome strip on the roof.

It's is crazy and polarizing. The last time we saw a marmite-design like this was when Mercedes unveiled the production version of the CLS.

Lexus should have unveiled this car at the Tokyo fashion show because it's automotive haute couture. The Zoolander of 2 door coupes if I may say so.

As captivating as the interior is I find it toned down for a Lexus. Unlike the NX the center console is not a button-fest. The art deco look and feel is gorgeous. If I was to nitpick, the passenger side glass pane on the dash should have been a screen.

Similarly to how the AMG GT is a more affordable SLS AMG, the LF-LC brings coolness of the LFA down to much more accessible price.

I like it!
