Doesn't interest me either way. If I'm going to buy a convertible, it's going to be a sports car (i.e. S2000 or Miata, etc). If I wanted a coupe, it wouldn't be a body style that I think looks better with 4-doors anyway, ala the 2IS.
And the IS5XX or IS4XX, whatever the monster turns out to be, is going to be way beyond what I'm willing to pay for a car anyway.

According to the Lexus production timeline, the IS convertible should be coming out on January, 2007. The car should be very similar to the Lexus LF-C Concept car, a 2-door, 4 seater convertible. The starting price will be around $44,000.00 MSRP. I think the car will be a very nice looking ride... but only time will tell....

OMG! If I wanted a Scion tC I would have bought a Scion tC... I change my mind now. I'll keep the sedan!
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...

Don't forget this quote from then-Lexus general manager Denny Clements in a 10/21/04 Automotive News article:
"Clements promises the IS 300 replacement will do a better job competing against the BMW 3 series and its 16 variants, which sell about 10,000 units a month.
'We'll have a sedan, coupe and convertible, all-wheel drive and a couple of engine choices,' Clements said. 'It's a huge opportunity. Right now the IS 300 has a cult following, but we could be doing 5,000 or 6,000 units a month.'"
I'm still waiting to see if a coupe (not convertible) is around the corner.
