2009 Lexus IS 350 Coupe
 

Does anyone have any information on if/when the IS coupe is coming out? Edmunds' Inside Line Future Vehicle List states that an IS 350 Coupe is slated for release in the summer of 2008. Here is what they said:

What Edmunds.com Says:With a coupe and convertible in the IS lineup, Lexus will finally have some leverage against the almighty BMW 3 Series.

What We Know: The 2009 Lexus IS 350 coupe is one of those cars that we expected to show up years ago. It's no secret that Lexus was targeting the BMW 3 Series with the IS lineup, so the lack of a coupe variant has been a little surprising. Although no prototypes have been spotted yet, a report in the trade publication Automotive News says to expect to see the IS 350 coupe by mid-2008. A hardtop convertible is expected to follow a year later.

its a rumored but it hasnt materialized, if it comes out itd be 2010 or later

The edmunds information isn't from an old link, so you would think if they posted it it would be true. On the other hand, I also would think there would be a spy shot by now...

What's wrong with the 2008 IS350? My wife has an IS250 and it's a really nice machine. I'd want the 350 myself tho'.

I remember hearing talk of it but haven't seen anything on it in a while. I think it would do well. Here's a article and concept rendering from a while back:

I'm not exactly dripping with excitement...

True it isn't an RX-8, but I think it would make a fine second car.

I agree the 350 is nice, but since we don't have kids, we are partial to coupes

Thanks for the link. Since the article was from 2007, it doesn't lend hope to a coupe being released this summer, but you never know. According to Edmunds it would be a 2009 MY
