There currently are no plans for an entry-level non-hybrid car to slot in under the all-new ’14 IS sport coupe, although Smith says that remains a possibility if the market demands it. Lexus retails the compact hybrid hatchback CT 200h in the U.S.
Smith being Lexus vice president of marketing Brian Smith.

Never mind, the original news is already in the LF-LC Concept mega thread. What is not there though is the reference to the 2014 IS Coupe. So it looks like the IS Coupe will be sooner rather than later (assuming it is based on the 3IS platform).

Well, they better base it off the 5th gen GS platform.

It will surely be outdated upon release, if they use the current platform...
