Official news and pic: New IS200 To Be Unveiled At Geneva Motor Show
Saw this on IS300.net.
Check out http://www.lexus-europe.com/ . They have a flash animation on the top with a sketch of the new IS, which very much resembles the recent chop of a blue IS.
Can't say I like that profile too much though. Too cute to be serious for me.
Also the IS200 will still be available to the European market, so there will be at least 4 different engines offered at launch.

I'd be a bit disappointed if the blue car is really the one.

Well according to this well pointed out observation there are more resemblences to the silver than the blue one
red = differences
green=similarities
That more angular upsweep of the rear is almost identical ti the silver..

Like i've mentioned in the several previous threads, the tails are actually larger and a little more rectangular than what's been drawn in those renderings. 3/4 sized new GS is the key here.

Do you remember if they were that angular though?
Also I meant to say that the upsweep of glass on the rear door is identical to the silver...but looking again at the outline the swoop of the roof into the rear resembles the silver also. The blue is really chopped short

The upsweep of the glass is there. Overall lines are definitely on par. Definitely mimicks the 06 GS styling.
