Lexus files for IS300h trademark...
Looks like Lexus has registered for the IS300h trademark in Australia.
Makes me wonder if the US will ever get a hybrid IS =]

meh 450h sounds midgrade between the 350 and the IS-F. Gimme a IS999HXYZ....
sometimes manufacturers apply for trademarks to throw competitors off the track
im guessing this is one of those as well
unless lexus is really really serious about making a hybrid version of all of their line-ups

The 3-series ActiveHybrid is sporting a 300hp turbo 3.0L I-6 and a 55hp electric motor so I guess the IS300h is meant to focus on efficiency rather than power. Good move, but an IS450h would be awesome too.

i wonder if it will be 4cly engine still, just differentiated from Camry by 10hp-20hp.
Camry Hybrid is soo good with its power and weight, that it will make Lexus look bad with same powertrain :-)
