Default 2015 Lexus IS Coupe Rendering

If this coupe ever becomes a production model, would you be willing to pass up the sedan and wait for this?

That car looks great! Kind of like how the BMW 3 coupe (and soon to be 4 series) and the Audi A5 look alot better than their sedan brothers.

I'd buy it and then drop it an inch!

When I asked when the IS coupe is coming, Lexus dealer told me the next coupe coming next year is based on the GS. The IS coupe is 2yrs away .

Is this true and is this the RC?

I'd wait for the coupe but we all know the LF-CC is the IS coupe and that's not coming for 2 more years

Hell yes. That has all the right lines. If Lexus released the 3IS as a coupe at launch, coupled with the 2.0T, I bet you it would have won car of the year and all kinds of other awards. THAT would be how you do a launch and grab people's attention.

It looks great from that angle. Looks similar to a Audi A5 coupe.

I have gotten to love 4 door so i would past on the coupe although it looks good, no more lifting up seat for passengers to get in the back

I too much prefer the practicality of a sedan.

That is a great rendering. I owned a coupe once but now I prefer 4 doors. Still that would make a nice looking car, I hope they build it.

I'd be interested. Never really thought about having a two-door car before.

Love the RC and I had my fair share of coupes, but for me they're a dying breed since the 4-door is so much more practical. My vote goes to the IS.
