As the title says, I may have to re-think my next car. I like what I am seeing here, especially the changes in the body lines. I don't see many of these changes being incorporated into the 2014 GS.

Don't get me wrong, I like the look of the new IS...but regardless of the styling, going from a GS to an IS would be a downgrade in a lot of areas that would take some getting used to.

The cluster is awesome on the IS but the swoosh DRL is kinda iffy

1111GS

I have to agree with Steve... It's a hot car and may be more fun to drive but it is still an IS. Maybe an addition to the GS?

don't think we'll be seeing any significant additions until 15/16.

the DRLs on the 2014 IS are sic... that whole front end is nice, that's what they should have incorporated into the 2013 GS. although i'm not complaining... i like the design of my car.

I meant to say... keep the GS, buy an IS as an addition. Got to work on my English

I actually like a smaller car, so I wouldn't be against trading my 4GS for the IS Coupe when it is introduced. If the GS drives like it does, I can only imagine how the IS drives. It will really depend on seeing the car (and the interior) in person. There is nothing like the interior of the 4GS. Sweet!

1111GS

Definitely looks nice in person, the frontal view in particular... I wasn't impressed by the back and the interior although it looks really nice on Lexus website. IMO, it looks real nice for an IS and its class.

Looks really good, but I'll stay with the GS.

Same here... This IS and GS got a lot of attention and as well as the LS and LS F Sport. As I expected the ES didn't get much attention although they have two on the floor. I was hoping to see the LFA and the Sting Ray but they were not there.

The IS hasn't had as smooth a ride versus the GS as far as smoothing out bumps at least. My son always got bounced around in the back of the IS but not nearly as bad in the GS. Still, that front end looks great. I will need to warm up to the side a bit: not feeling it yet.

I love the new IS dashboard but I cant see stepping down to an IS the new IS will be everywhere the GS is still in a more elite status.

I like how guys are saying an IS is "stepping down" from a GS! They are two totally different cars! The GS is way to soft riding for me personally. More elite status? I'm sure my IS-F cost more than most GS’s. But I didn't buy it for "status.' I bought it because I like the performance and handling over other Lexus vehicles.

Of course a GS driver is stepping down by going to an IS, just as a 5 Series driver would be stepping down going to a 3 series, or an E Class driver stepping down going to a C Class. Your IS-F is a different animal, we're talking about a GS350 driver going to an IS350.

The IS is unquestionably a cheaper car, with less features, material quality is going to be lower as it is now.

If you don't like the way the 4GS rides, I think you'll be disappointed in the new IS.
