And with estimates of $120k now, it's a sure bet that not many of them will ever exist except, perhaps, as wall posters on the bedroom walls of 16-year-olds.

According to Cars.com(blog):
The Lexus LF-LC is a sleek, futuristic front-engine, rear-wheel-drive coupe paired with Toyota's hybrid drive system. Most of the major elements found within the cabin like the multimedia system and the components under the hood are already in production in some form on other Lexus models.

Seems more like a repeat of SC to me.

"Our goal is to create a variety of vehicles for the future that can run on gas or other fuels … and then let customers determine what works best for them," said Carter.

Glad to at least see this quote. Build as many electrics and hybrids as you want, but please leave room in your mind for those who still want or need gas or some form of IC. In other words let the free market decide what it wants based upon the price of fuel.
