Is this the next IS(2004-2005) in a tuned version like BMW's M version? If so it looks like a real competitor

not to mention the persons guess at what it'll look like.

and zengine, no dis intended, but one thing i've learned is that although looks do make thinks look better...they dont create speed. i got my *** kicked by an old school beat up eagle talon (yea they are fast but not with rust, right? or so i thought) and there happens to be a lambo in town that i could spank. Why? for some odd reason the guy decided to drop a chevy 6 cylinder in it.

looks mean little. there are sleepers that will rock sport bikes!

those pictures are chopped because they were using the all masked-up spy shots they had and computer-rendering them to make them look like a car (with the spy shot you can't even see the shape of the headlamp and taillights.)

This picture is not made to show how bad the photoshop skill is, but if you guys see the original pic it's actually a nice way to see what looks like is under the mask.

That's a photoshopped pic of the TTE IS300 compressor testing on the Nurnburgring.

The rear looks maserati-ish to me.
