Default When Can we expect the third generation IS??

I know it's a little early to be talking about the next generation but I am excited to see what Lexus will throw at us next.I'm hoping it will be even more solid with no rattles!But when can we expect it 2010 or 2011??

Let's see...the first generation IS came out as a 2001 model, and it was replaced by the second generation IS in 2006.

So, by simple logic, I'd say the next IS is due in 2011.

Your IS will be OBSOLETE!

I think I'll wait and see what the 4th Gen will be like, guess in 2016!

If all you care about are rattles, then wait until 2008's come out. Things like rattles are often addressed in-generation, and don't necessarilly need an entire new design.

I'm more concerned about the IS coupe/convertible than the 3rd gen IS sedan...

more power, room, coupe version (hardtop) manual transmission, AWD option on the 3IS350, sportier seats, more anticipated aftermarket parts!

I have a feeling this 2nd gen will run much longer. Possibly 8 yrs like the 2G GS.

typically... Very popular models run much longer.
