No official plans to bring the diesel into the U.S. for now.

The coupe/convertible should have the same 350 engine as the sedan. I doubt Lexus will make a 250 convertible because of the added weight, but do see the 250 with the coupe.

Absolutely no official word on release date, final design, or pricing...

Might be 300 instead of 250 for coupe. Just like how BMW will have 328 for coupe instead of 325. Later they will update for the sedan as well.
