2014 Lexus 3IS on Jay Leno's Garage
I don't know how to embed YouTube videos , but here is a link to a video of Jay Leno getting a first look at the 3IS. We can see a little bit of the interior without the disguise. Looks good!
If someone can help me out or fix it, go ahead. Thanks! Enjoy!

Kinda cool to think even Jay Leno is getting in on the new IS act.
So this car here looks different than the other disguised ones. Don't the foglight areas look larger?
Thanks for this video OP.

In the video Jay says he's in Japan. Videos of him visiting Toyota to see the LFA factory started to show up on his Youtube channel back in October. Soooo, I'm assuming he must've seen this 3IS in Japan back in August or October, before a lot of other people and magazines.
This 3IS looks to be a non F-Sport, since it doesn't have the F emblem on the lower part of the steering wheel. Foglight area looks like its not covered up as much on this version 3IS. Still hoping the 3IS has foglights or some sort of LED foglights.
306hp????

Front end on the 3IS looks really promising. I'm 99% sure I'll love the front end.
The tail end is the only part that's worrying me. It doesn't look bad by any means (based on what I can see so far which isn't everything so I'll reserve judgment until I actually see the car), but it doesn't appear as though the tail lights will "flow" as well as they did on the 2IS.
I think the 2IS tail lights still might be more handsome looking and better proportioned (to the rest of the body) overall.

Yup, I have been hoping this would make it into Lexus' production models ever since the LF-Gh concept introduced those sweet LED strip integrated into the body and we saw it yet again with the LF-LC and LF-CC. It just shows that it will filter into the future Lexus models and I'm glad it's beginning with the Lexus IS.

I guess the engine will be a carry over. I guess the good thing about this is that by now, they should worked out all it's bugs, like the grinding at start up that I have.
