The current look has been around since 2006 with minor changes every year. When would you guess we will see a complete new look?

It's generally assumed you'll see the 3IS next year (late summer/early fall of 2012) as a 2013 model, since it's likely based on the GS again, which just saw a model refresh.

I wonder if the new generation IS350 will have more horsepower.
I doubt it because the GS has the same 306 HP in the new generation.

lol dj_amtrax, your a pretty old member; I'm surprised to see you asking a question that pops up bi-weekly.

Although subjective, who else does not like where the new designs are going?

GS.. looks very similar to the CT and HS

I've disliked nearly every styling change Lexus has made since the 09 2IS redesign... which makes me very happy I got an 08, but a lot less happy about what I'll likely think about the 3IS... doubly so if there's no performance bump

I hate the front design of the new GS and it seems all new Lexus cars will have that look..
