NO NO NO....this looks like a GS F coupe!!!!!!! check out the longer wheelbase and the taillights. There is no way this is an IS but its great to see an F coupe regardless what it is. I don't think they would put GS taillights on an IS F??

I too think it is a GS coupe. It does look bigger than a IS.

Other pictures show it as having interior identical to the IS.

New Engine 2.0L Turbo.....

100% it's a GS Coupe... I have a good friend on Lexus and he told me the new GS Coupe come next year in the summer.

2L turbo with quad exhaust? Don't think so.

This is getting very confusing. An interior coupled with GS taillights...perhaps baby of GS+IS??

Seeing as all the Lexus cars are addopting the spindle grill and that their last stand alone coupe was the SC perhaps they will call it the SC-F.
