There's not much known about the [Lexus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lexus-rz-sport-concept) LF-SA, at least not at this moment in time. Like many cars set to debut at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show, the LF-SA has broken cover before its official outing. What is known is that Lexus has created an aggressive [city car](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toyota-aygo-x-jbl-special-edition) that seats two and looks to be about the size of a [Mini Cooper](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-concept-aceman) or Scion iQ.

The Mini Cooper has done incredibly well since its return in 2003, but the Scion iQ has failed to impress both consumers and critics. Lexus doesn't have a history of making small cars, so it will be interesting to see what it brands this concept as. More should be known about the Lexus LF-SA when it is officially revealed at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show,
