I've yet to hear of any other upcoming confirmed vehicles from Toyota... but I'm sure having something similar to spec to the IS w/ the same price range would just take away from Lexus sales... which is something I'm sure they wouldn't want

Intelligent Sedan, Coupe, and Hatchback...
I think Lexus should go with naming the sedan, coupe, and hatchback as (respectively) the IS, the IC, and the IX. Each should be similar in design but different in purpose.
1) The IS is a pretty heavy and controlled sedan, with plenty of bells and whistles, opitimizing Lexus luxury.
2) The IC should lighten the load, lessen the standard options, tighten the suspension, and offer a manual.
3) The IX should (of course) be AWD, offer more room for rear passengers, and have towing capabilities and a roof rack. This would be the smaller "SUV" which Lexus is considering to market.
Who's with me on this?

Please dont hate on me or anything but those pics of that IS coupe, remind me so much of the Scion TC. Nothing wrong with TC, I think there nice except the locating where the fog lamps are at

We'll know by next week end, Lexus Switzerland is not mentionning anything regarding a concept IS coupe, but who knows, concept are not usually introduced via a press release.
