2006 Lexus V6 IS hard top convertible
Preview
What Edmunds.com Says: Bolder styling and more body styles should make this new IS a more competitive product.
What We Know: Lexus is hoping to strengthen its position in the entry-level luxury sport sedan category, in which it has never performed particularly well, with a redesigned version of the IS. The new IS will go on sale sometime next year, first as a sedan with all-wheel drive. A hardtop convertible will likely follow that, and the company might even do a coupe version as well. The IS will feature multiple engine choices, including both 2.5- and 3.5-liter V6 powertrains. The company does not plan to use any V8s, though.

Lc-f
Specs on the LF-C include V8
Do we know yet if the LF-C will replace the current SC430? Both V8, both convertible..etc...not sure Lexus would put out two "competing" models.....and Lexus has traditionally kept the number of models it supports to a minimum ..Dealer has NO idea. I've checked out ALL relevent web sites on the LF-C....and there are a lot.....none mention this concept car as the future SC..... Official Lexus is silent on this subject.....They keep secrets better than the CIA. Any comments/observations from the Forum????

Nice ride, but i'm a fan of the IS and its supposed with 4 doors. like most lexus cars it is a true sleeper. it looks great and you expect it to drive like a sadan but if you ever drive one you know it was made for hard driveing, drifting, and so much more.
