On April 15, 2008, Toyota Motor Corporation has applied for the following trademarks in the Canadian Trade-Marks Office:

IS350C: Application No. 1391376
IS250C: Application No. 1391370

And very interestingly:

IS300C: Application No. 1391371

There do not yet appear to be any trademark applications in the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). However, Toyota typically files their applications concurrently. It is known that the USPTO takes a little longer to process their applications before they appear in their online database.

The trademarks also now appear in the USPTO as having been filed April 15, 2008:

IS350C: Application No. 77448711
IS250C: Application No. 77448695
IS300C: Application No. 77448728

So do the Canadian cars come with denim instead of leather seats?

That's great, I'm waiting to see what IS350C will turn out to be.

the is300C, thats probably for us mid easters. its the only spec we get and no its not an inline six, its a v6 with no direct injection. 230hp, nothing special

hm.....interesting.....

ndk83

probably convertible

nabbun

i can't wait to find out. but if it were a coupe, i'd be so tempted to trade in


Edit- HAH what if it's another sport cross like the Geeta

there has been a spy shot of the convertible, havt come across a coupe yet. sides they got the sc, which apparantly is undergoing a change. so i doubt a coupe not to mention the upcoming LF-A or whatever its called

Most likely, ISx50 Coupe/Convertible in North American markets, with IS300 Coupe/Convertible available for non-North-American markets, such that of the Middle East or Asia...

Base IS250 comes with fabric seats currently ...

Gojirra99

If IS300C only for non-North-American markets, then why did they file for it's trademark for Canada & U.S. ??

Anyway, good to have some confirmation the IS coupe/convert. are finally coming . . .

ndk83

crap i didnt consider that and dunno if u meant that either

but it could be a convertible coupe like the eos, or 3series convertible

that would make alot more sense too, thats a segmant they dont have but need. even the a4 convertible is a 2 door
