*RC now have a bad reputation on even if it's powerful but it's heavy and this is continue with the RC-F carbon , that's all due to the main design as it was firstly designed as a coupe and also as firstly Lexus want it to be in the middle , neither GS coupe , nor IS coupe and with the next generation it's safe to have a unique design for every one both the GS & IS
*NX yes Hyundai owning the IX but it's numbering is different , and even the naming is only at Europe , IX35 is a Tuscon. in case of IX with lexus the numbering after will be the engine size IX 300h , IX 200t
*GC yes it's common abb. but not a legal usage , we all and i am one of the people always say LC for the Land Cruiser , so i think now there will be a real LC, and people will use on it by time, yes i know that you may say Lexus & Toyota same corp, not like Grand Cherokee which is FCA
*CT yes one of the best , but honestly the 3rd best maybe especially after the NX introduction the 2nd and 3rd in Europe is IS & GS , maybe the RC will replace the GS as the top 3rd from the next year
*ES Akio just say Lexus is not about practicality , that's why i said this, and he also said if you need practical go to Toyota as what is been written, he is so keen to re-introduce Lexus as a real competitor to the European and also have a high low price than all of them, and caring only about agility , performance and design , of-course with the amazing smoothness , the top notch tech and the superior building quality
another clue on this , by next year you will have the full L aka (LS, LC & LX) , and already the G have 2 now (GS & GX), and maybe the next GX may turn to be the RWD CUV we always want to go with the likes of Q7, X5, MDX
