I hope that is real! They could use something to compete with the BMW 3 series coupes, Audi A5, and Infinite G37/Nissan 350Z. Lets hope they make an IS-F Coupe! :drool:

Is it RWD?
If so, I think I will be taking out a slightly bigger loan for my next commuter car....

IS = International SEDAN . . . no coupes. Every IS coupe I've ever seen was a photoshop. The IS-F is already on the streets - 400+ hp of direct injected V8 fun, 8 spd automatic with with 100 millisecond shifting when in AutoStick mode (equal to Ferrari) and the torque converter stays locked in gears 2-8. Three modes of traction control - full, sport and none. This is a contender regardless of how many doors it has

Well, I wouldn't count a coupe out just becuase the name says it has to be a sedan. My 4Runner is an SR5 (SR5=sport rally 5spd) and has an auto tranny. Interesting though...I never knew that is what the IS stood for. :thumbup:

Avy, the IS-F is RWD, while an IS250 is available with AWD.

Awesome car!

I know Dan, Just as long as they bring the RWD and AWD drive line over to the Coupe I will be happy :D
