Can Someone Explain What This Is...

[dfkd]

I was looking for a future model of the SC and i came across this...gem.

It was labelled as the Lexus Landau.

Anyone have any info on this?

No idea what that POS is . The rims are from early 90 GS300 series so i would guess it was an early protoype.

Not the greatest looker of the bunch, but I wonder if designers of the new VW Golf, got heir cues from this. At least the front and rear end. Food for toughts.. or maybe I am just being insomniac, so I am starting seeing things :whistles:

It's a concept car from 1994 from an Italian auto design firm Italdesign

General shape and profile are very similar to the Fiat Brava of about the same era. Not sure if ItalDesign did the Fiat though. Might have been Bertone.

Personally I would not mind parking it next to "Big Brother" LS in my driveway! B)

I think the design is organic, balanced and timeless. Very much unlike many of the "flavour of the day" designs that dominate within small cars today. I also find the interior very appealing, and I would feel right at home, moving from the LS.

What a difference from the digital, gizmo laden and ugly interior in for instance the new Yaris or in the new Civic.

Perhaps there is some "Euro-taste" vs "US-taste"?
