If that is how the next IS is gunna look, I won't be jealous of the next generation at all. I'm sure Lexus would never allow the next IS to look like that.

2014... amazing that toyota would let the car go 8 years without a redesign.

Looks like the new ct but more of a Hyundai look. I'll keep my 07.

Sure looks disappointing. I was anticipating a more modern design. The rear roofline reminds me of a Porsche Panamera.



And, the front styling does resemble the Hyundai Genesis Coupe. Looks like the foglights will be LED similar to the Mercedes E Class.



Overall, I think the design is not unique, but a redention of other vehicle cues.

While the FT-86 sports car will be powered by Subaru’s EJ20 engine (2.0-liter flat-4), 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 that’ll make the luxury sedan a presence on the racetrack.
If any of this were true I'd say major fail. I'll stick with my DI 3.5L V6 thank you.
