3rd Gen by 2013?
Can we expect the 3rd generation to come out in 2013 though?

The Engine
While the Toyota FT-86 will be powered by a 2.0-liter flat-4 Subaru sourced engine, the IS will be powered by a 2.5-liter naturally aspirated 4-cylinder and/or a 3.6-liter flat-6. The 2014 Lexus IS F will continue with a high-powered V-8 with an output of more than 400 HP. The IS-F will sprint from 0 to 60 mph sprint in about 4.5 seconds and will hit a top speed of about 170 mph.

Lexus Champion
The article states that it may come with a 3.6 FLAT six, not an inline six. They are 2 totally different configurations. Only Porsche and Subaru currently use flat engine set ups (that I know of).
