I'm not sure Lexus should go further down market than the IS. They should make the 1 series competitor a Toyota instead of a Lexus IMHO.

I've heard that some car manufacturers are considering diesel hybrid, but I can't remember which.

Lexus should remain the upscale division, they don't want brand dilution.
There's already brand dilution for BMW & MB with the 1 series, A class, B class & C class coupe etc.
It maybe OK for BMW & MB in their home market in Europe, but not good for N.America.
