The Lexus LF-LC is a rarity among modern auto show concepts: it's an actual concept. It's not intended to directly preview any production model, and it's certainly not a thinly-veiled production-ready car. It's also pretty daring in its details. And it's a hybrid. Beyond that, there's not a lot to know about the LF-LC. It's a two-door coupe, it looks sporty, and the combination of that look with a hybrid drivetrain might presage a legitimate entry into the sport-hybrid arena from Lexus, at least as an idea. But really, who cares if it does anything? It's an actual concept...

The BMW X6 made waves when it was first launched back in 2008. Here was a big SUV but with almost no practicability, thanks mostly to its limited four-seat layout but also due to its smallish trunk. This was remedied somewhat with the introduction of a fifth seat option early last year, but now the vehicle is in store for its biggest update yet. BMW is working on a facelifted version of the X6 for the 2013 model year, and we now have some new spy shots of a prototype for it. BMW isn’t planning to change the unique look of the vehicle, instead choosing to implement just a few tweaks to...
