Will the IS get the new Turbo charged engine?
Reading different Lexus forums online and some state they believe the IS will be next in line to get the turbo charged engine Its about time hopefully the current 2.5 is outdated.

That 4GR-FSE isn't as bad as everyone makes it out to be.
Besides its that engine variant that makes up like 80% of the IS sales anyway.
In Australia base Audi A4 1.4L &1.8L or the base C-class 1.8L are real junk and also very unreliable.

Initially I was set on getting the IS250, when I test drove it I had no complaints regarding the performance. On the highway you punch it and it pulls strongly.
I got the 350 due to a good deal that I couldn't pass..

I agree also I hope its reliable and can last 100K or more. Turbo engines I have heard wasn't too reliable but i'm sure Lexus did their research and study.

depend on the power number of the turbo 4. if it puts out numbers similar to BMW 328's turbo 4 then i seriously doubt Lexus would put that in the IS to jeopardize the IS350 sales. but if the number is close to the current IS250's then it's almost certain the turbo 4 will find its way to the IS250.

Number for IS has be rumored to be 250hp and 237hp for NX.
To me more interesting is what will happen to GR... I have a feeling it will end up in same situation as V8 in RC-F.
I read so many Toyota news, and I know Hoovey hear something about turbo's, but I have a feeling that 2GR-FSE (or whatever V6 it ends up being, may be new series) will get rework like UR in RC-F - which means a lot of new tech, and still NA. It will likely get Atkisnon cycle, better mpg and still have more hp than now.
