If you look at how the bumper was cut the same pattern on each side for the exhausts, maybe the new exhaust tips will be bigger/more aggressive.

I cant wait to see some spy photos of the new body and interior (which will probably match the GS/ES). Will this new IS be a '13 or '14?

That just a photo of some guy in the middle of modding his car, NOT the IS redesign.

Needs a turbo motor... and either a MT or a double-torque converter setup like the 8-speed transmission in the IS-F

i doubt lexus will make a turbo engine since lexus has always been making natural inspired engines. Also, according to lexus dealership, the new model of the IS might be 2014 instead of 2013 because the convertible lexus came out in 2010

An IS-F Sportcross would sure be nice. If they're only going to do the Hybrid setup in the wagon, I think they're missing a special little niche. Probably not enough to warrant production, but one could dream. The LF-Gh sportcross (GS Wagon) concept looks awesome!

So I go to Hendrick Lexus to ask the attractive saleswoman who works there when the 3rd generation IS will be released. She said," wait here, I'll be right back with an answer for you..."

After like 10 minutes, she comes back and says the next gen. IS will be out around Oct. of this year and I'm thinking like "really?..." !

C'mon, where'd she get that bs from.. facepalm.
