I'm already thinking about my next car purchase which will be about 2 years from now (currently own Acura) and am really considering a hybrid or the Lexus IS. Do you suppose Lexus could release an IS hybrid version by then? That would close the deal for me, and I think it makes a lot more sense than their SUV hybrid.
Lexus currently has hybrid versions of the RX (SUV) and the GS (sedan), and has plans to release a hybrid version of the LS (sedan).

I haven't heard of other announced models/concepts, but that doesn't mean that one isn't in the works... Check back at Lexus' Future/Concept Vehicle site:

when it is timefor you to get a new vehicle. Do be aware that the Lexus hybrids are more tuned for performance than they are for fuel economy. If a lower initial purchase price or better fuel economy is what you're after, you should look at the Toyota sister car. (RXh->Highlander HV, GSh->Camry HV) The Toyota version usually comes out the same time or a few months after the Lexus introduction.
