That's just a badly photoshop car of what the publisher thinks it will look like. It looks nothing like that. The next IS will look similar to the new upcoming GS.

I hope it'll look much better than that, & not too much like the new GS, which is a HUGE disappointment to me.

yup i have to agree, i really hope the new IS doesn't look like a scale down of the GS, coz' i think the IS is smaller and should carry a different style

The GS is a dissapointment. Hopefully the IS wont follow in its footsteps.

Count me in as one of thsoe who does not care for the new GS styling.

I realize the GS styling is a sign of the path Lexus is going to take but I hope that the IS looks different enough so that it looks nice.

Obviously the one good thing about all this is that since they are Lexus cars I am confident they'll be great cars even if they don't look good on the outside.
