Bleh. I don't think the bean counters will be too upset when the final sales numbers come out at the end of the model year. I think a sportback with a glass roof would be better than a convertible.

I think I was more excited about the FR sedan mentioned at the end. Maybe I've been spending too much time I'm BMW's and lusting after a Toyota chaser.
Hopefully in the end this FR sedan will just be a low level Lexus that only comes in automatic. This way I don't have to be tempted to buy another FR

I prefer a T-top or shooting brake over a convertible.

Courtesy of Ichi, of course. Source or not, I still like the idea of a targa over a convertible. That would truly be a 90's sports car revival.

I would buy either of those in a heart beat I would love to see real renders of these using current pictures! Where is a accomplished photoshopper when you need one! very awesome! and i agree the targa top would bring back the early 90s RWD car vibe!
I wonder what the $ and the damage would be to the structure of the car without that section if you had it done.... nothing like a targa top with a nice roll cage!!!
