I'm sure this has already been asked, but any hints, rumors, etc, on the next generation IS-F? What's the timeline? Will there be any weight loss and will the 5.0 liter V-8 remain? Will there be any boost in power output?

I've been told 2012 will be identical to 2011.
2013 is a refresh, and I've been told 5.0L V8 will remain with an upping in hp to ~450hp.
I'm still anxiously waiting to see what the refresh will look like. That will decide whether I purchase a 2013 or 2012 model.

My best friend is the 2nd cousin of the lead designers maid and he confirmed it will have a Long-wheelbase chassis made from unobtanium, an 18 cylinder engine with 6 turbos, interior trim made from the hides of unicorns and only come in pink!

New IS is due soon, after the 4GS (in 2012 as 2013 model year) and an F variant will follow soon after that. Don't expect any factual rumors to get excited about, Lexus usually keeps a tight lid on these type of things, nothing really gets out unless they want it to.

I have heard that they are planning to release a 4 door convertible version with 4 cylinders. And yes the Exhaust tips are connected for this version only. They also are planning to go with any color option as long it is purple.
Let's say i know someone who knows someone who was a maid at someones place for 20 years.

Of course they are... The tips have always been connected to the mufflers!! ![Thumb Up](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
The exhaust diffusers, on the other hand, are connected to the bumper.![Wink](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)
I have a feeling the diffusers are sticking around this 2nd time as well.
