For those of you who missed it... it will probably look like this...

IS convertible spy shot... (a real shot, not photo shopped)

Which is weird, because it uses the old wheels, side mirror, and taillights...

I am looking forward to this, a lot! They sure took a while. However I am nervous based on the spyshots of how it will look. Also I'd like to see a simple hardtop coupe IS...that would be a volume seller as well!

Another thing to note: no word about a coupe variant. Only a convertible variant...

^^ Makes perfect sense....

^^^ They did that on purpose the 2009 ISx50 Re-Fresh was kept behind a SUPER TOP SECRET WALL @ Lexus.. so I am not suprised that none of the 2009 refresh parts made it to that convertible test mule from Feb 08'

The 2009 variant was already on paper and drawings ealier on this year..
Plus the 2009 IS used in the most recent Taste of Lexus events in CA were hand builts from June 08'...

Test mules never have the "new" stuff on them. Exhibit A: The IS-F test mule:

Hmmm... the IS convertible doesn't really interest me, but it's nice to see that Lexus is taking on BMW's entire 3-series family. IS-F convertible might actually look sick!

Congrats to Lexus for getting with it.

I think it's probably both rolled into one, with the hardtop ...
