Coupe
According to former Lexus GM Denny Clements, there will definitely be a coupe and convertible. See his quote below from an Automotive News article in 2004:
"The key to volume growth is the IS 300," Press said at the Detroit show. 'It's in a price category where having volume is OK. It's feeder stock for future Lexus purchases.'
Clements promises the IS 300 replacement will do a better job competing against the BMW 3 series and its 16 variants, which sell about 10,000 units a month.
'We'll have a sedan, coupe and convertible, all-wheel drive and a couple of engine choices,' Clements said. 'It's a huge opportunity. Right now the IS 300 has a cult following, but we could be doing 5,000 or 6,000 units a month.'"
