100%. I like concept cars to be conceptual and really go for it. There's been a lot of "you could produce that right now" in the last 10-15 years from all manufacturers.
Are you talking about Honda/Acura's "concepts" that come out mere months before -- and are merely mildly-disguised -- the new model?

“The Lexus booth is hosting the public debut of the LF-ZC, a battery electric sedan concept which points towards a new production model scheduled for release in 2026, and the LF-ZL, its vision for a flagship battery electric SUV.“

The size of LF-ZC is 4750*1880*1390mm with 2890mm wheelbase. Does this mean the IS EV is cancelled and turned into a new project? It doesn't make any sense to release a product in 2025 based on an obsolete platform only to replace it a year later.

Its space-optimized shape really made it look way larger than it is. We were all fooled into thinking this is at least an ES-size car.

The LF-ZL is 5300*2020*1700 with 3350mm wheelbase. It's just slightly larger than Century SUV and LF-1 concept but will have much more space.

I just came here to ro write the same thing as you. I'm concerned that this is unfortunately replacing the IS. I wish we could get the Electrified Sedan Concept as the IS replacement, but if this thing is 187" long it seems this is replacing it :(

Maybe the IS will be hybrid and this is the BEV just like RX and RZ.
