Completely inaccurate. When will these auto journalists EVER learn ... the SC will NOT be cancelled
. The SC WILL be redesigned, you can take that to the bank.
Next-gen GX will NOT be on a GS platform. What sort of sillyness is this?
GS-F is basically 99% guaranteed at this point, to arrive after the 4th-gen GS debuts.
LF-A will NOT use a TT V8
. The V10 engine is guaranteed in the LF-A. Who writes this stuff?

I'd be interested to see if the "IC" is really the CT. It is specifically called out as a 1er competitor. I know I'm being overly wishful, but a Coupe/6MT with the 2GR-FSE from the IS350 would be very nice! (okay, stop throwing things at me)

Following the Lexus trend I doubt the I-C or whatever they're going to call it (the 1-series competitor) will have a manual transmission. It'll probably boast a sequential gearbox or the 8-speed automatic from the IS F.

I highly doubt that. Mercedes-Benz has done well enough without manual trannies and the AMG enthusiasts aren't complaining, nor are the critics. I don't think the IS F would perform as well with a manual transmission.
