I have always liked the IS model. Both first gen and current. The cool thing is that the IS250 V6 is not platformed shared with any other Lexus or Toyota in America which is really cool in my opinion.

if 2013 IS doesnt get spindle, it only means that either there wont be 2013 IS (just like 2012 GS), or that it will simply be carry-over model...
OP makes it sound as if there will be new IS but not spindle, thats certainly not true.

to be honest, i thought it was clear from the start. here's what i posted on the first page after reading the thread. it's the only logical conclusion.
