M3 Coupe, C63 Coupe, and now IS-F Coupe?
This is just to spark friendly conversation so please don't get overly sensitive to rumors, myths, or hearsay presented.
M3 Coupe = No change, still a coupe.
C63 Coupe = Rumor or already reality?

ISF Coupe = Hope it looks better than below rendering.

that c63 coupe looks sik and if they do turn it into a Black Series, that would even be more awesome.
As far as the IS-F coupe, that doesn't have any design influence from the current model so my guess is if that is a legit rendering, I'm guessing that it's rendering for the next gen IS-F coupe. I'm not sure how I feel about with all of the "bubbly" features such as the fender flares and the front bumpers seems to be way over done.
Lexus is apparently saying that they're going to focus more on styling for their future cars and I hope that means that they won't turn to the gaudy looks and sticks with sleek and simple to create a sik look such as the c63. Put the flares where they need to be but don't over do them.

The car would have been done by today but its getting backed up due to an unexpected death in the family. Once we go through the motions ill be able to start installing the kit. Im really looking forward to running 10s... I would definitely buy it if it was a Subaru. Especially if the ECU is user friendly

As many as they want. I love coupes and hate that Lexus does not offer something in a coupe for me.
The IS coupe looks weird with that long butt and is kinda small for a big guy like me....although I do fit in it. The SC430 is just not enough room for me. Only the SC300/400 fits me comfortably. I am going to leave Lexus if they don't come up with a coupe. Benz knows what people want.
