A bit too blurry to decide if it's a chop, but the overall profile looks pretty good as a conversion from the sedan to a coupe.

well, if you look at the other stuff on the website, you'll see similarly blurry pictures of other camoed toyota and lexus vehicles taken from the same angle, which makes me think that whoever is taking these pictures is taking it from some sort of aerial point into the toyota hq... and making this picture all the more real.

It might be a real photo and not a photoshop, since his other findings of the new ES with the glass roof was spot on

IMHO, it doesn't look like a real pic of a real car.

I would be a little disappointed if the IS coupe (if they produce one) looks so similar to the sedan . . .

No background looks that clean. It has been photoshop. I do Graphics for a living.
