No it's a photoshopped fake...
That doesn't mean that there won't be a coupe in the future but THIS one isn't real.

Question is it out there ............or not?

there is a picture on one of the forums,of a IS200 COUPE on german number plates,this is not truely a fake cos Lexus Europe put a proposal forward for a coupe when the car was released in europe,but it never got past the idea phase ...............................or did it? there are rumors that i have heard recently,or should i say dropped hints at TTE that the car does exsist(the one seen driving down the road with no driver) but its stripped and sitting in a Toyota/Lexus warehouse in Cologne Germany,this will possibly be the only car that TTE didnt show me if the rumours are true
