Magneto, those pics look hot.

Yeah, if the IS convertible coupe look anything like. My Lord is all I can say.

And I'm hopping lexus isn't gonna do some stupid stuff like wiping out the rear seat space like they do on the SC430. I hate 2 seaters. The thought that I can't take a friend to the club with me and leave with 2 girls in the back really bugs me.

I think the Motor Trend rendering looks promising, I like what they have done to the rear and seemingly to the front, the side is better than previous renderings.

they didn't mean physically bigger than the current IS did they? cuz if they did then the IS vert would be seem like an SC replacement. So he confirmed that we wouldn't be seeing a coupe, just a hardtop vert, since he confirmed that schedule?

When is the NY autoshow?

Could the Lexus rep's comment "think bigger, much more than the current IS"
be refering to an IS500 with a V8

Ohh boy..you guys are making me drool! IS500 would be great but anything over 50k is going to be too much. Hopefully there will be some different models to choose from? The anticipation is killing me....I'm ready to pull the trigger this summer!
