Will New Lexus LC Debut in Detroit?

 
Lexus has teased us that they will debut something new for the Detroit Auto show, which begins January 11.  It's been four years since Lexus teased us with the LF-LC concept car, and Lexus fans have been waiting with bated breath ever since.  While there's a chance that the Lexus debut planned for Detroit could be something else, there is anticipation building for a production-model LC. 
 
 
The picture above is a "Spy Shot" of the LC concept.  It is anticipated that the LC will feature the 5.0 Liter V-8 that currently powers the RC-F, and will likely follow the Lexus trend of being offered in a hybrid model as well.  We will follow up with more information as it becomes available from the 2016 Detroit Auto Show.
