So far there has been nothing officially announced for the 2011 IS-F...

Here is the only "leaked information" so far...

2011 Lexus IS Receives Minor Facelift and New F-Sport Grade in Japan

Thanks to some leaked brochure shots, we can show you the first pictures of the Japanese domestic market (JDM) version of the subtly refreshed 2011 Lexus IS 250 / 350 sedan.


The most notable exterior changes include the new headlamps that incorporate LED daytime running lights and the redesigned lower part of the front bumper with round foglamps. Though not visible from these photos, the interior is said to benefit from some minor trim upgrades.


Also new for the JDM Lexus IS is the addition of an F-Sport grade, similar to the one offered on the UK market 2010 IS 250 and 220d models. However, in Japan, the F-Sport grade also gets a unique front bumper as well as what Lexus describes as, a sport suspension developed by the LFA team.


Stay tuned for more information as soon as Lexus releases the official details on the updated JDM Lexus IS sedan.

Thanks! I'm having a hard time deciding between the IS-F, M3 and the boxster spyder, and this is going to make it all the more difficult lol. Now i'm wondering if I should wait until the official announcement or choose between the M3 or boxster spyder, because i'd rather not buy an "outdated" lexus IS-F without the suspension and minor cosmetic changes. Do you know when next year models usually go on sale?? It should be around this time ain't it?

More like September or October.... ish

If you find a great deal on a 2010, I would take that..
(@ Dealer Invoice Price)

If your not in a rush, then just wait it out.. But expect to pay Window Sticker MSRP when the 2011 arrive.. (with minor changes)

are people confusing the F-Sport IS with a IS-F?

because i keep hearing people say its a IS-F face-lift but i think this is just a is250/350 face-lift with an addition of the F-sport model

and this thread title is misleading too

Default Wait

I think I agree somewhat with Panda327. However, I'd just wait for the official details from Lexus.

Actually it's because the pictures in your original post have nothing to do with an IS-F.

Really???

How is the Spyder a consideration with the other two? I love it and respect it and would certainly consider one if I lived in SoCal.....but in our neck of the woods you're going to get to drive it what?....6 days a year?

The title should be "ISx50 New Facelift." There's no ISF info in the article. Thanks for the change, though.

I saw a spyder the other day and it looks sensational. As much as I love the IS F that would b my choice.
