I'm going to have to agree with most of the members here. I sold a 350Z cuz I wanted 4 doors and a power/luxury combination. This, is in my opinion, is a great option for people who want a performance car with all the luxuries and the option to carry a child in the vehicle when required - my wife and I will likely have a child on the way soon.. And that's exactly why I picked it up now. So I wouldn't get a big fat "NO" from the wife once she was prego! lol
I almost said, "F--k off, b--ch!" but my better side just said, "I'm sure I can make it fit just fine."
And I did.

This reminds me of shopping for a car seat for my son when we only had the Supra. We went to the store, and asked if we could take it out to the car for a test fit. The clerk said sure, no problem. So we go out to the Supra, push the passenger's seat forward, stuff the seat in the back and it's just a tad on the tight side. Evil witch clerk smiles a sneer and announces, "Well, looks like you'll have to sell the car."
I almost said, "F--k off, b--ch!" but my better side just said, "I'm sure I can make it fit just fine."
And I did.

and btw...If you ever decide to sell that baby hauling coupe of yours, will you add me to your list of potential buyers?

Well, I guess I'm the one who disagrees with the rest. If (and I'm really crossing my fingers) we get a coupe version, I'll trade my sedan for it right away. If it's a cabrio, either hard or soft top, I'll keep the sedan.
I like coupe cars, I like the GTR but wouldn't trade luxury for power. I don't expect to have the fastest car on the road, I'll probably buy an Aston Martin or Maserati before I buy a GTR.

I'm on the "no" side. I'm 6'2" so I have my seat low and back pretty far. To try to let a rear passenger enter in a coupe would be a hassle #1. It's already super snug behind me.
While I would still own this car if it only came in the 2-door variety, having 4 doors is just too dang convenient. Without the rear seats folding down, the backseat is the most spacious place to carry stuff. Having to move the front seats out of the way would be hassle #2 and wouldn't accommodate nearly as much space. You can fit a large tv or cat-back exhaust box in the backseat now. With 2 doors you simply couldn't due to the angles and such.
A coupe just has so little cargo options. Although if the rear seat folded down completely...I would be quite interested.

We sold her '08 Scion TC 5spd with only 28k miles on it.
Also heads up on the Scion TC's...they like to cool the power steering fluid (which is really ATF fluid if I remember correctly) I always flushed her power steering fluid out when I did oil changes.

i like the way this thread is developing. i would have taken the coupe when i was single, but with a family it's the sedan all the way. what's awesome about the IS-F is that it can serve two purposes: hauling family and hauling a**
LOL

This versatility is the main reason I bought the IS-F as opposed to a 2-seat coupe In fact, I'd probably have bought a Cayman S otherwise.

Just wondering who would consider trading or selling their ISF for the "ISC-F" (the recent one spied) if/when it comes this way to the US?
Granted the body is not completely finished , etc etc....but given what we already know it more than likely will look like - -how many are or would consider giving up their 4 doors and trunk
to the F coupe with the drop top?
Just curious?

I have the Boxster and just picked up a 1990 Miata so I already have the drop tops

I only want 4 doors. The IS F fit the bill perfectly. If there were to be a true sports coupe, it would definitely be in consideration, but 2 doors, as beautiful as many look on the roads, don't do it for me anymore.
