Meh. Nice and all, but we need a convertible with a backseat. I'd love it to be a Lexus (and a badge-engineered Solara would do nicely), but it looks like that won't happen. Oh well, good for somebody I suppose....
I think it'll be awhile before there's a Lexus model that's not available with a gas/diesel engine. I could be wrong, but I don't see a "prius" on the horizon at the moment.

There have been a lot of people who think anything with two doors will be the next SC. LF-A was the first with this and now the IS coupe. Truth is that both the LF-A and IS coupe will be completely different products from the SC, which is on a 10 year life cycle and won't be redesigned until 2011 or so.

Makes sense though considering how well the G35s sell.

Lexus designers again, don't want to touch up the SC much. They are happy with the design.

I think that might be an IS-F convertible. There's a badge on the front fender, it looks like there's two mufflers and there's a bit of hood bulge visible.
I enlarged the photo a bit, take a look.
