The car will be based on the Lexus IS platform.
The main market will be North America. That's one of the key reasons for the convertible as its key competitor (Nissan 350Z) has a drop top available.

A 3-series convertible in 325 form is around $39.6k, and in 330 form is $44.9k. Hmm ...
IS350C / IS500C.
The IS350 sedan is already at 35.5k, so in convertible coupe form it'll be around $42.9k, while the IS500C should come in around $55k (just under the M3 convertible).
The 350Z doesn't have 100k annual sales, but the 3-series does.
