What are your thoughts on the new IS? I think it looks great, and i hope as an F owner lexus doesn't hold back on this.
I think for this to really sell we need some new power-trains, and some good ones too. Cant wait to see interior pics. What do you guys think?

new infotainment, better placement for the cup holders, more soft touch materials.....I'm happy with the interior which is improved. If they give us a TT V6 or the V8 I'm happy. I already liked the interior. 🤷‍♂️

Nope - it's a re-designed/engineered exterior & interior - but would like to know if it's the SAME senior team @ Lexus who worked on the 3rd Generation IS 2014 debut.

Also, it looks like the winners are those who currently own a 2014 to 2020 IS.

Not sure yet. I was thinking about eventually upgrading to an RCF so we'll see. I want to see what type of power upgrade they'll add.

A true evolution of the L finesse deisgn. It's simply stunning especially in the real world shots on the track.

People that say the Lexus design isn't "resolved" will finally shut up. Yes, it looks like the UX but in sedan form it's so beautiful.

Is it actually bigger? It's on the same platform as the old IS but it looks as long as the GS.

A 2-seater for $60k?! In that case why not a new Supra, or Miata?

I think this refresh looks pretty nice Seems like the wheels are wider (offset/backspacing) and align better with the fenders. Unsure yet on how I feel about the check mark DRL being embedded on top of the headlights; thought the check mark separated below the headlight on previous years was a nice touch.

Ya you might be right - from some angles there's some GS semblance in there considering GS manufacturing is being sunset.

Supra is another option for sure, the Miata has very little power so that's a no go for me. As for the RCF I'd buy it used. Not paying 60k.....in fact, hold onto your hat, it's 85k brand new here. Lol
