I don't think you can assume if they make a coupe version, it will just look like the IS sedan minus 2 doors as those photoshops suggest.
It's possible it may look more significantly different than that & share no body panels at all with the sedan.

Very interested.

If you want more information, just look at the Lexus LF-C Concept car, and you should have a rough idea of some of the things the IS convertible might incorporate into the production model, like a 3-way convertible mode (top down, targa, and roadster) and some other goodies...

I already heard people saying that the IS 350 has the lines of the scion tC...
BLAH! that just downgrades my car a couple notches... comparing a POS tC to a IS...

I hope that the IS coupe, should it appear, share a resemblance but not 100% the front/rear of the IS sedan. I prefer a variation, to see something similar yet different. The rumored 8----8 exhaust is a good idea, IMO, stylistically. Perhaps different angled headlights, and also similar yet different taillights--such as in the Road&Track rendering...would be great.
I hope that whatever comes also has a very slick, eye-catching profile. Some of the renderings which take the IS sedan and simply cut out the doors lose the visual interest and detailing that the IS sedan has from the side.
