3rd Gen IS speculation thread

Seriously i don't think he was trying to be an e-thug at all. He was just joking around that you haven't seen something that has been talked about a lot recently. No reason to take it seriously or make it seem like he was attacking you, in my opinion! And def no reason to say he's some kid living in his moms basement.

plus what I saw looked more like this. And no I dont live under a rock I actually live in a 1900 sq ft house and have a full time job, a wife, a kid and don't have all the time in the world to read car mags, watch the news, or sit on this forum and make 4053 posts.Get over yourself guy. Just because you hear about something before someone else doesnt make you "cool". I came across some good stuff and I thought I would share just in case other guys/ gals on here have not came across it bc they are busy with their lives vs being a virgin and sitting on the computer all day reading about cars.

If the FT-86 is anything to go by, then the next gen IS is going to be a very attractive ride... Toyota/Lexus continues to show a great knack for keeping the weight of their cars down, too, but it would be nice if (unlike the FT-86), the 3IS got a good amount of power to boot.
Errr, why would the LFA make up for not getting a Supra? If you were interested in a new Supra, odds are that you're not going to be buying an LFA anytime soon... Or were you just interested in Toyota releasing a new sports car even though you had no interest in actually driving/buying it?

Sadly the 3IS seems most likely to go the way of the new GS... that is, some styling changes, some neat interior upgrades, and some ECU tweaks to the same damn transmission and the same damn engine they've been using since 2005.
Don't even get me started on the FT-86... years and years of concept versions at shows and they spit out a car with under 200 hp, with no FI option at all.

I hang out with high school kids and i am old enough to be their daddy. Cool talk is cool. Age does not matter. 
So back to 3IS. I speculate that IS250 will stay, but IS350 will be replaced with a turbo/super charged IS250.

FT-86 is definitely old news. Seems like it's been lingering in concept/production state for ages, so hearing that it's got such a lousy motor on this thread really sucks. Toyota is also definitely never coming out with anything the likes of the Supra again, haha there is no sense in believing they will. Something a tad similar within the next decade, POSSIBLY, but even then, they'll just give it to a design group under the Scion or Lexus team. I miss that damn car

Especially with how long of a product cycle the 2IS is going to end up having, I will be VERY surprised (and disappointed) if they end up re-hashing the same powertrain in the 3IS. I think they set a precedent of putting a lot of power in this class with the 350, and now there's a lot of competition in the segment (and in some other somewhat-related segments). They have to step their game up.
