Default Next gen IS

Hi guys,

I want to share a photo of next gen Lexus IS prototype. I wanted to take a front of the car but CHP was on my tail so couldn't... sorry... All I can tell you guys is that the front of the car looks similar as the current GS. Well thank you guys and enjoy the photo...

Nice catch on the prototype! But I agree with the others, it looks more like the ES. It doesn't look sporty enough to be an IS IMO.

Yep looks like an ES and if it was an IS I'm definitely keeping my 2nd gen.

Heres the thread on 3IS discussion btw

It looks a little to big to be an IS. I hope this is not a sign of things to come.

On other matters, I can't wait for the new LS.

I was hoping that WAS the new IS so I could know that the incredible amount of $$$ I put into my 2IS wasn't wasted... Haha

I looked at it and immediately thought ES. Good eye though! Keep us updated as you see prototypes!

I really hope everyone is right about it being an ES because that looks like a crappy camry.

OMFG JIZZ IN MY PANTS.

If that is the new IS250/350 then it looks like a mixture of exotic + aggressive.
