Default 2010 IS - Is this the last year

Is 2010 the last model year for the current body style? If it is, do we have any info on what the next body style looks like? Is it radically different than the current model?

I have been driving a RX350 and looking into buying the IS350. My questions obviously to lead to a decision to buy now or to wait until next model year. What's your opinion?

Thanks.

haha, no it won't look like that. I expect it to look a little like the LF-Ch concept they debuted:

according to the crystal ball, the new is280 with 235 hp and is380 with 336 hp will be coming out late March/early April 2012 as a 2013 model. 18 inch rims will be standard as is a new 7 speed DSG type tranny will be the only transmission available. The car will be 3.2 inches longer, wheelbase will be 1.2 longer and 1.4 inches wider. the convertibles will follow in 2014.
