Default 3rd Gen ISF

Does anyone know if they are going to produce a 3rd Gen ISF? Will they make a convertible and if so is there a plan for an ISF Convertible?

Lexus has apparently trademarked the "RC-F" name which refers to a coupe positioned between the IS and GS.(Rumors)

Could be like how the BMW 4 series is a coupe positioned between the 3 and 5 series.

So you could be seeing an RC-F as a 2 door ISF. Sort of like an M4 now being a 2 door M3

RCF too nice, if the front is as aggressive as the F and 350+hp, I'm definitely in and forgetting the F.....Power, Coupe, Sexy, Reliable what more could we ask For...

Considering the success of the IS F for Lexus they have to bring it. Everything I heard was about a coupe....so the RC F is clearly coming..... I'm assuming the 4 door will be the IS F then.

I am assuming in the next few years
IS F
GS F
RC F

Not sure will there be a LF CC F or whatever its called (The flagship coupe)

Yes, the RC and IS will most likely share engines. GS will also share a few but hi-po models may have more oomph

Next IS F is in the works. The questions is when will it come. My guess a few years after this new IS comes out...just like when IS F was launched 2 years after 2nd Gen IS was released.

After seeing this, I may have to hold off on getting the Audi A5.

The 3IS really does look sharp in black (and darker colors). This side profile here looks excellent (and I'm one of the people who hated the new 3IS exterior initially).

The woman was starting to want a 335, might have to wait for the RC F. Looks like the most good.
