Well I guess I'm all alone on this one. NOT EXCITED AT ALL (not even a little bit)!!!
Probably because its about 3 years to late, more than likely no manual transmission option, wont be a true coupe, I get visions that there are no styling differences front or rear, that it will be ugly as heck with the top up and also very heavy.
Yep, just about everything negative I can think of I feel like Lexus will hit.
But if it looks exactly like the concept version its based off of then I will be blown away.

Here's an early peek!!!
From a quick look. It's not too bad IMO. I actually like the back. It's different than the standard car but don't know if i like it better or not.
I see a bit of the LS460 rear lights with BMW LED lines.
Top up, not so sure yet. I'd like to see a different color. Interesting to see the G37 when it's fully unveiled.
So far, until i see more and better pics, i still like the 3 series hard top drop top.

Thx for the pics. Some parts look nice, but with the top up it is like other hardtop convertibles. Top down looks good.
