This has been posted in car chat and the IS-F section. Consensus is that the IS-F is merely taking a break, not being discontinued (ie: the e90 came out in 2006 and the m3 came out in 2007).

All this false advertising. none of it is true until Lexus announces it. Also, if this were true, Lexus would forsure announce this, because it'll make people run out and buy the existing ISF, leading to more sales.

I believe the official statement from Lexus was that the 2014 model year would be a carryover for the IS-C and IS-F, so it would appear that while no new IS-F is coming for 2014 the model isn't dead. I would expect a future performance version of the 3IS, though whether it will continue to be called the IS-F may be up in the air. Still, expect a 2014 IS-F, I don't believe 2013 will be the last year for the model.

Probably too early to call at this point, but I would wait until you actually hear something from Lexus before believing anything. There were reports the Toyota Matrix was going to die years ago, but they're still making it. Same goes for several other cars from several other manufacturers.

Sad to hear "if it is true". I love my IS250 so much that im replacing it with a brand new Lexus after this. If they don't make ISFs anymore the I'm getting their current hardtop coupe when that time comes.

Well, with only 486 units sold in their largest market. It makes little sense to continue making it.

The new ISF or what ever Lexus will call it should be due for model year 2016 just as the current ISF was released in 2008, 2 model years after the original 2IS. I asked this same question to a Lexus rep at the car show.

RC-F, I think Toyota already put a patent on this name.

There were literally 3 used IS-Fs at the Lexus of San Antonio Dealer! I cannot believe they had so many for such a small market. Sad

If Lexus had made an ISF Coupe, they would be flying....literally flying out the door.

I took a Lexus survey about if a performance line was important or not Saturday. maybe they are thinking about dropping it.
