Lexus should have done it. It would sell.

What do you think?

Pros: extra room and cargo, fold down rear seats, diminishes some of the space issues people have with the sedan.

Cons: looks ugly, heavier, looks ugly, maybe less gas mileage, looks ugly.

Nope. I see a 1IS Sportcross occasionally in my evening commute and it does not look attractive at all. I don't see how it can look good in a 2IS.

Incremental revenue and profit, not worth the trouble from a business standpoint.

Audi A3 seems to be a popular version of that type of vehicle.
