Those photos are the real deal. Like I explained time and time again, the rear tails are more rectangular than the renderings and it is a 3/4 scale version of the new GS.

so this is it then. i will have to wait and see the real production car. these pictures do not excite me that much as it is now.
by the way, how come the pictures become red X?

IS300.NET has pics of a much higher resolution.

Although I must say I love this rendering so much more... I'm quite a bit let down...sigh.

But this one is not as much of a letdown than the GS, I think I can still like this IS, but the rear looks much too square if you ask me, reminds me a little of the old Celica of the 80's.
Well, we'll know for sure in a couple days when we see better pics from different angles . . .

From the profile, it reminds me more of the G35 than anything else, but it also reminds me of the E90 3-series, too.
The front is distinctive, mainly due to the shape of the ducts next to the fogs.
The rear has a sinister visage to it, kind of like it's glaring at you.
I wish the interior photo was better quality, but it looks like it has a long thigh bolster, which is big for me. I could never sit in the old IS for more than an hour before my legs started to spasm. Come to think of it, every Lexus I've driven save for the RX300–*'93 ES, '01 IS, and '02 GS4– has had seats that didn't suit me at all, leaving me more fatigued than normal and/or with various pains after any drive longer than an hour (and no, it's not due to changing the seating position; I use the same seating position, fairly upright, every time I drive). Part of it is due to the seat cushion not being long enough for my tastes. My favorite seats are BMW's sports seats, with the adjustable thigh bolster, which allow you to lengthen the seat cushion by a few inches. It helps a great deal. If the thigh bolster really is significantly longer than the old IS's, Lexus may just get my money.

I wonder exactly how much information we'll get tomorrow. I'm thinking that we'll for sure see the official pics of the sedan and get all of the information on the IS250 and IS350...But I wonder if we will also see the coupe/convertible hardtop and Sportcross (if the rumors are true)?
