most convertibles never look as good as the coupe. however, if it had a hardtop fold away, it would be the best compromise

However, I think Lexus is more concerned about their sedans right now. By next year, all eyes will be focused on their SUVs (New Highlander [= New RX], to be debuted next month) and coupes (SC needs a redesign, IS needs a coupe, and LF-A will become a reality).

No way can we even guess at this point in time. If we compare it to other cars, it definately needs to be less than the 3-Series, but more than the G35 coupe...

Coupe looks really nice. Not sure on the convertible... something about the door being very square-like
