I would not feel strange about the IS coupe and convertible because G37 convertible would be in the showroom as MY 2009. Also, I m speculating that 2009 IS would have a power upgrade to at least 330hp with Valvematic and DI.

Yall should read my posts

I said it will NOT look like that.
(saw Reggie's post, thanks dude)

I've been credible for years here newbies

I wouldn't post crap. You can go anywhere else and read that!

I'm glad they are adding an IS vert but I really wanna see when they will change the outdated SC.

Horrible photoshop (check out the c-pillar; it's just wrong).

Promising, but definately nothing near what it will be.

And I'd probably be ready to trade in the IS350 at that point.

Good timing!

Well Mercedes may call it a coupe as a marketing ploy, but it's still a sedan.

That is the concept of the next generation SC, not an IS Coupe.

Incorrect, that LF-C concept is not the next generation SC. It is a design concept for the IS models. I can't wait to see the IS 250c/350c. Hopefully it comes out very soon...seems like the IS sold well for August 2008. The coupes should help increase IS sales and it gives us more choices...
