The first pictures of the 2021 IS are impressive with great exterior lines and the new red interior. In the past, I have owned a 2008 and a 2014, however, I am really disappointed to find out that Lexus is going to keep that old and tired 350 engine. I was hoping that they would offer a V8 or a turbo 6, so I guess I will stay on the sidelines, until they get a better engine.

This has been discussed and debated at length in the general 2021 IS thread. Lexus MAY release a more potent variant down the road but not everyone needs a V8 and not everyone wants a turbo. I do hope they offer the V8 for those that feel 400+ Hp is necessary but I don't mind the approach they took with the upcoming refresh. Either it will be a quick refresh just to give them more time to finalize the shared plateform/engine with Mazda or a more powerful version will come down the road.
I will be saving this thread to see how many people will be upset when the tried, tested and true naturally aspirated engine gets replaced by the new mazda sky-active engines ishing they had the old engine again, Go look at how many Acura people have been wishing that the 6-speed tranny was back in the TLX compared to the 2015-2020 TLX and its 9 speed tranny.

This should probably just be a part of another existing 3IS refresh thread, like this one: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...hreads-30.html
