My mistake, after a closer look it looks like they went with the Bridgestone Potenza.

I was asking for speculation on the IS and knowledge on any of the other models.

I wish Lexus would offer a Night Pkg option to blacken out all the chrome around the windows, some buyers just don't like all that chrome. Many other car manufactures offer that as an option. I know it won't happen but I feel a lot would order that option or request it.

I would. But I got the chrome on my current IS deleted. It would be nice though if they offered it so people don't have to do it on their own.

Agreed, really considering deleting the chrome on my 2016... especially the chrome around the grill haha. It got old quick.

Default 2021 IS Teaser video broken down

Redesigned IS looks decent. This guy analyzes a short clip of it very well. Enjoy!

If that's real, i love the front end and despise the back end. I bet the car will look amazing from every angle but the back. Lol

Here it is in full HD glory:


Confirmed to be a refresh. Interior is mostly the same with a larger infotainment, and the engine bay looks identical to the current IS 350. Not holding my breath for the 3.5 twin turbo or V8.

Am I wrong or is the interior more like the RCF?

It has a touchpad now instead of the mouse. How long is this design going to be on the market for is the question. That means no change for another couple years at least?

Here's the engine bay of the new next to the old that I alluded to earlier. Nothing has changed...
