Default Should Lexus make an IS-F coupe/convertible?

So, the coupe/convertible for the 250/350 is coming (almost certainly).

Do you think it would be wise for Lexus to produce a very limited number of coupes/convertibles for the IS-F, or would that be too expensive and tedious to produce?

I mean, in a business sense, it will most likely be unprofitable due to design and manufacturing costs. But, it would be a halo car (of sorts) for the F line.

What do you think?

If they made a convertible IS F and it weighed more than the current IS F then it would be a mistake.

Absolutely not. I'm not a fan of the M3 Vert so I wont be a fan of an IS-F Convertible either.

Yes, the need to make the ISx50 a hardtop Coupe Convertible and the IS-F exclusively a fixed roof coupe.... that weighs less than the IS-F sedan.
