Completley agree give us some headers and maybe some weight reduction and we are all set

I would not hold my breath on weight reduction, especially from Lexus. They cram their cars with more tech than their competitors so that alone should erase the idea of reduction in weight.

I'd love to see heads up display thrown in as well as well as some performance increase.

There was a thread discussing this a few weeks ago, and it sounds as though Lexus is indeed afraid of product cannibalization. So, we may get a new body style, but the engine will likely remain extremely close to current specs. Just fyi.
I'm with most of you though, I would love to see this as a coupe.
Cannibalizing LFA sales? Isn't the entire production of LFAs sold out? Sounds like another clueless sales guy to me.
There might not be a power gain, but it won't be to protect LFA sales.

Agreed. People in the market for the LFA aren't cross shopping the IS F with it. Two different cars...two totally different demographics.

I'm a huge fan of the rear. How the 3rd brake light is the spoiler. And, let's face it, most of us will only see the rear of this car in a race which is unfortunate.
I'm really gunning for Lex to produce a coupe is-f. By 2013 I'll be ready to get rid of my IS250
