"Stop stacking champagne glasses on the hood and take a good look at the front of this Lexus luxury coupe. Having relied on its image of reliability for roughly two decades, the Lexus brand is continuing a recent effort to redefine itself as something sportier, more daring, and altogether wilder than any of the cars the company has produced before. The LF-CC offers a strong hint at to the design of Lexus&amp;#039; next personal luxury coupe, which should come to market within the next year or two.        Lexus LF-CC Concept    Hybrid Powered   The LF-CC in Paris utilizes a hybrid powertrain consisting of an electric motor coupled to a 2.5-liter inline-4 cylinder engine. This makes for positive eco-themed headlines, but production models are likely to run the gamut from 4-cylinders, to V-6s and, potentially, performance-oriented V-8 models. After all, Lexus hasn&amp;#039;t had a proper coupe in its lineup since the demise of the original SC300 and SC400 in 2000. With all due respect, the convertible-only SC 430 that followed was always more of a boulevardier than sports coupe.        Lexus LF-CC Concept    That massive grille is certain to stir controversy, which is a shame, since the LF-CC has some amazing design touches that get overwhelmed by the debate over its catfish-like maw. Seen in profile or from the rear, there is more than a hint of BMW 1-Series Coupe in the flow of the LF-CC&amp;#039;s fenders. The intricate headlights and taillights might never make it to production, though credit Lexus for taking a chance and putting them on a show-car in the first place. They&amp;#039;re amazing when seen up close.        Lexus LF-CC Concept    While nothing was confirmed in Paris, there is no doubting a luxury coupe is coming back to the Lexus lineup. Look for the LF-CC, or something very much like it, to be on sale in the 2014 model year. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
