It should has three different styles like LS does. Standard, F Sport, and hybrid. But turbocharge 250 output is still 200 HP? Hmmm... Let see how it is going to happen.

This information is wrong, miss leading, and kind of offensive to anyone with a brain. The hybrid model will NOT have a turbo..

True that, but I trust Hoovey. He has a reliable piece of information.

I dont doubt mr.hoovey, just putting the info out there. But the turbo age is coming soon and very soon.

if it's like the RX, they'll give it another half liter of displacement and then slap it with the hybrid. I don't get it.

The more and more spyshots I see of this "New IS" the more and more I think Lexus will get it all wrong similar to how Acura did with the TL.
