Default IS350 Coupe Rendering

I read a lot of the automotive websites and came across this rendering of what a IS350 coupe might look like. Take a look and give some feedback. I think it looks pretty good.

Also, they have some other photoshops of existing and oddball offerings that Lexus could consider. Look here to see the others.

i think that concept is a little too futuristic...it will look similar, but not as " edgy"

Default It actually looks good...

A blend of the IS and IS-F into a coupe...

Not too rice, but definately more aggressive looking.

On that gallery - I like the ISX - I tried to hold off until Lexus announced their baby-SUV equivalent to the Acura RDX and the BMW X3, rumored within the next year or so - I liked the utility our RX330 offers that I was missing in my IS300, but in the end, I just couldn't resist and got the IS350 - DEFINITELY no regrets, but a baby-SUV based on the IS would probably be a fun little car...

I don't like it. It looks best as a 4 door IMHO.

Some of them are, but there are some really interesting ones...

And that Aston Martin is the ugliest looking car of them all...
