Am I the only person here that likes the idea of a 400 plus horsepower drop top? I love the standard IS-F but I think I would love a convertable version even more, if you guys what something with a stick and plenty of room go buy an outback, but if you want to hear that awesome V8 sound while carving up a mountain road on a warm summer night, get this thing…lord willin I will consider getting one. Do a lot of posers drive these? sure but a lot of posers drive Corvettes, Mustangs, M3s, TTs, Boxsters, 650is, CLKs, SLs, Ferraris and Lambos too, its because of all the posers spending money that these companies can afford to build them in the first place, I dont care what reasons other people have for buying them, Just know I have my own and its that I think few things are better in the automotive world then driving a high performance car with the roof off…just my 2 cents.

Now that they’ve really improved the IS over previous generations, I wish they would bring back the wagon/hatch version. For where I live, it would also be nice to get the 350 in AWD; it’s either 250 AWD (a dog) or 350 RWD which isn’t as pleasant in the winter.

Lexus should have built an all-new Coupe using the IS Platform and tech. replacing the SC430, and having a design that actually works for Convertibles and Coupes.

LOL… I feel the same way johnnycanuck. But more than lack of sales, my appreciation for such performance vehicles just drop because of their lack of 6 speed manual transmissions.

I don’t care if it’s topless or not, no stick- no sale.

WHY? Ugly is as ugly does, and now they want to make an F(AIL) version?

Oh this is exciting. A blind man can see the true potential and meaning of this car (total sarcasm). I think Lexus is sniffing on BMW’s ass farts or something. I honestly dont see why we need this car when nothing but old retired ladies and fags driving them around. Why do they need that kind of speed? Even if it was a closed coupe version, this car looks so gay as a coupe that true enthusiast wouldn’t dare and try to take on an M3 coupe. Waste of time and waste of PR.

I agree with Jake66 – bit if a shock, not sure how appropriate it would be….
