Yeah, I'm really hoping the timing estimates (although no one can guarantee anything, of course) are right. I was ready to get a 2020 only to be utterly disappointed that Apple CarPlay was NOT added to the model. Hopefully the new interior will mimic the current UX/ES language, which I think looks much better. And I pray a heads-up display will be available, because my 328i really spoils me with that thing. My only fear is first-year model issues like carbon buildup that we've seen historically with some models, but...what can you do. I don't want to settle with purchasing a car that is outdated looking and without current tech.
It's a nice design but they don't suit the car though.
I remember everyone (including me) thought this generation IS was *****ing ugly when it came out. The design grew on me since, and has surprisingly aged better than expected.
They should make a 2.5L inline 4 as the base model engine instead of that silly 2.5L V6 which is slower than a 2007 Nissan Altima and the 350 should be a 3.5L inline 6.
Not a fan of the above design - hoping it won't look like that. The TLX Type-S on the other hand...
I agree - The TLX Type-S concept looks amazing!!! I am not making any judgement until I see both cars in the flesh....speculations and renderings are helpful but until we see the real thing, it is hard to make a decision. even the Type-S....How many times have we seen Acura concept cars to be so diluted that they make Vanilla Ice Cream feel exciting. I guess 2020 will be an interesting year as a few of these will come out but I will not get a 1st year production car anyway so Spring 2021 is when my 2019 RC will be going back.
Some better quality renders. If that is what the redesign will look like, they should probably tone back that diffuser. Also deleting that character line that comes down from the bottom corner of the tail light on the quarter panel down to the bumper cover. The appearance would be improved significantly, in my view.

The only thing about this render I want is the mirrors. They appear to be the same mirrors that have popped up on the new RC. I've seen those in person and think they look a lot higher quality than what the IS has now.
I love the current 3IS design...with a few minor aesthetic upgrades...with everything you said...what would really blow everyone out the water..is if Lexus made the 4IS compete directly with Tesla!...like fully electric long-range....and powerful. No one would see that coming...and would definitely sell.

I love my Tesla but the IS is a far better looking car. That would be my dream car The IS350 was 50-100hp shy of being the perfect car.
HORSE POWER, oh and actual aftermarket support. Looks and reliability have been there but after the 1st gen it’s like they got upset with consumers modding their vehicle. The 1st is set some trends in motion and when people requested a manual transmission it happened. 4IS needs to get back to its roots. Engines should be 4U-gse, B58 and either a V6 or V8.
