If the IS is indeed based off the FT86 and not the GS then I see no reason why they would not offer a 6speed manual. It makes sense right? Acura offers it with the TL SH-AWd, BMw, Mercedes, Infiniti... Manuals are not dead. That is if Lexus goes with the FT86 if they go with w/e the GS has then there will absolutely be no manual tranny. We simply don't know enough about the internal specs of this car yet.

Manuals are gone for Lexus. The IS will NOT be offered in a three pedal set-up regardless of chassis. Take your pick of a 6A or 8A (350)

Central gauge package looks great. Getting rid of the speedo needle was a no-brainer.
However, doesn't look like they improved the interior manual door lock piece. Always thought ours felt cheap (plastic?).
Well, I'd get this car for that LFA gauge package alone... it looks that hot.
Wonder what the CHP story on the side of the road was.
