Little pricier, but that's good news for the F cars.

It's supposed to be the new body, with the current engine transmission combo. Like what they did on the GS and IS.

I don't think they are keeping the 2013 style as a 2014 model if that was what you are stating.

No new body. 2014 will be exactly the same as 2013. ISF 2015 with new body will be two door coupe.

It would have to be a new body. They cant make a new body IS 250/350 and an old body ISF for 2014.

2014 ISF would be carry over. When Lexus is ready to reveal the new body they will but 2014 stays exactly the same. Dealers don't even have ISF anymore they will only take special order for MY 2014.

New IS-F with 2014 IS250/350 body will be due at 2015.
2014 IS-F is just a carryover.

Uh, MBenz and BMW both do it for their AMG/M models. Neither the C63 nor the M3 were available in the current generation bodyshell until at least 12 months after the donor car was released. Go try and buy an M3 now; it's not the F30 body type. And the new M3/4 won't be immediately available after the release of the 4 series coupe either.
