Lexus published (and removed) an accidental teaser of the Geneva concept on their social media channels earlier today, and Motoring Australia was quick enough to capture the image — it’s called the LF-SA, and it’s small:
As with any darkened image like this, let’s brighten it up and see what’s revealed:
There’s plenty that can be seen in this image:
- With the tiny hood and the small roof, this is quite clearly a small vehicle.
- Judging by the light wheel outline, it’s almost certainly a car.
- The huge grille and its fractal pattern is very cool.
We can even analyze the name — the “S” could stand for small and “A” could be a nod to the “A-Segment” in Europe, which would make the LF-SA a potential competitor with the Mini Cooper, Audi A1, and Mercedes A-Class.
Could Lexus really building a city car? Putting aside my personal feelings that yes, they absolutely should, a concept does not necessarily mean that a production model is on its way.
Still, no point in assuming too much — there’s a limit to what can be determined from a near-black teaser image and a few letters.
So enthusiasts, what do you think?
