Default Crazy question: a new IS 2x0 SportCross (or Station wagon)?

My 2006 IS 220d is always wonderful, but... since then my familiy has grown and is now growing again... 2 new (wonderful) "elements"...

And so, when I'll have to consider changing it in a couple of years (long time renting), I'll have to look for a... more spacious one.
And I'd possibily prefer a sportcross than a SUV/RX.

Does anybody know anything about an IS 2x0 future SportCross version, like in our previus IS 200 model? It was nice to me.

Many thanks, bye

I would love to see one. I liked the 1IS SC.

Probably in US the "SC kind" is not very familiar (correct me if I'm wrong), but in Europe station wagons are very common, and I even think they represent the major percentage of company cars.
With a diesel engine (and I hope an automatic shift) it would be a success here...

No sportcross is planned by Lexus.

However, a crossover based on the IS platform has been discussed and rumored. It will be smaller then the RX...
