Maybe it's a condition of the way the photos have to be manipulated to release--note how distorted the site owner's face is (btw I have adblocked the image, its gross).

But the ES and LS preview shots were realistic enough, with hindsight...even the ES panoramic roof.

I think these IS convertible coupe shots look more promising, and I haven't seen them anywhere else. The earlier red IS coupe chop though I have, but these are new.

^^^ I dont know. Everytime we post up spy pics from other sites, the picture tends to be clear and in mulitple angles. His pics always seem to be from a birds eye view and taken with a camera from 1961.

So I guess the convertible is delayed (soft top to hard top or something?) Why not bring out the coupe first...

I actually doubt they will make a regular coupe without the convertible hardtop . . .

I wouldn't mind seeing them produce a coupe.

If they come out with a coupe it damn well better have a proper manual transmisson with at least the 3.5L engine or I'm going to flip out.

Lexus sure takes a long time before they bring out an IS coupe variant. Why is that?

Supposedly it has gone back to the drawing board for a more dynamic design.

I agree... With Nissan and infiniti coming out with new coupes its time Lexus joins the brigade. I know Lexus is in a whole different catagory than Nissan and infiniti but a Lexus coupe will dominate the competition
