Nah.

He doesn't want to take the 5-hour train ride to Paris alone.

The last time he was in Paris, it was in 1998.

Toyota has set its release date on par with the LF-A: A few years from now (if it ever even makes production)

The IS has a longer nose and huskier hips and butt.

I'm pretty sure it will translate to the convertible as well.

The IS convertible, will be sleeker and more aggressive with changed tail lamps, the body won't be exactly the same like the RED IS we saw in the picture above.

I am merely just using the 3 series as an example. 3 series sedan and coupe look worlds apart and Lexus will use this as a benchmark and will EXCEL.

Nobody worry

Is that pic it? Looks a lot like the LF-C but obviously the details are quite different. Chop, or the real deal I wonder?

EDIT: I think it's a chop of this picture
