Also considering the way the world economy is right now I highly doubt they will be introducing a new IS anytime soon. Also remember they just recently released the two hardtop convertible. After spending all that money on R&D to develop that car I doubt they will be replacing it after just a two year run. They would want to milk it for all it's worth making it and the current 2IS 4 door run an even longer production run.

You won't see the 3rd generation IS unless theres a huge drop on the 2IS sales. It all depends on the general sales throughout the world. If people are still buying the car by 2012, the Toyota Co. would still be making this very same generation. However, they might make some minor changes such as headlights, tailights, bumpers, etc.

No they aren't.
Lexus GS 2nd gen was MY 98-2005
Lexus GS 3rd gen is MY 06-10 (5 years so far) and not expecting a new model till 2012 MY
Lexus SC 1st gen was 92-2001
Lexus SC 2nd gen is 2002-present, remains in product for at least 2010
Lexus LS 2nd gen was 95-00 (6 model years)
Lexus LS 3rd gen 01-06 (6 model years)
Lexus LS 4th gen is 07-now and no suggestion it'll be a 5 year cycle.
Even the IS ran 98-05 for the 1st gen.
I dunno where you get that lexus runs 5 year cycles.
Based on all their other RWD cars the earliest you'd see a 3IS would be Model Year 2012
