Most of the "Lexus" reps that worked the Taste of Luxury event are employees from the marketing company that is contracted by Lexus which I think was AMCI...not Lexus USA HQ.

You're right! It's not a good guess...it's a fact. Point i'm trying to make is that info is from a 3rd party source...not necessarily a credible source...but definitely a convenient one.

That maybe true. As the next gen IS will use a new 3.0 V-6 and offer the 4.3 V-8.....

so is the is430 going to use the current body? with a new model coming out, i don't think it sounds like a good idea.
