I've seen and heard about this before -- I must say that I like the coupe a lot.

that picture has been around for a while now. It is a computer generated pic, not the real thing.

That thing is gorgeous. I find it more balanced looking than the Infiniti G35 coupe. I hope Lexus finds the inspiration to make it a 280-300hp monster. Since the G35c is 280hp I imagine Lexus will pretty much have to put in a more powerful engine. That the IS300 is "only" 215 hp is the only reason I have not bought it yet.

Are you sure thats not photo-chopped? I thought that the coupe and possible drop-top weren't coming till the IS is redesigned in a couple years. That one looks like the current one except only with 2 doors.

Agreed, not enough HP to compete with CL Type-S, G35..... Hope IS430 will be available in the near future.

Default I don't think so

I dont' think it's a real pic, it looks computer generated. I test drove the new IS sport design and loved it. you guys should check it out. I found an offer online where you can get a free subscription to billboard magazine for test driving the IS.

Default 2 dr.

I really think that that grey IS (if it's really one) looks alot like a Beemer and the red drop top well that just looks like cheese. I hate convertables they are just too, well, not sleek enough looking. Plus the guy driving looks like eddy munster, naww its not for me......But if the IS 2 dr. is out there.... I'll trade my new '03 IS for it!!!!!!

will the IS coupe be cheaper than the IS 5-speed then or a lil over it? and how much do u think that the convertible will cost? that think looks TIGHT!!! better than the BMW M3. i think its the M3 or it might be the BMW 525Ci. well anyways it looks alot better than the Mercedes Benz CLK430-320.
