I heard the 2013 IS-Fs should be released mid to late October. A dealership owner told me that dealer allocations and the number they will order have gone down, so we'll see fewer on the lots.

With the 2013 on the website I'm getting really anxious and amped up to buy one!

skimmed through the changes for 2013 - does anyone if there's anything changed for the drivetrain? figured it was just the navi (hd radio would be nice)...?

no drivetrain changes

Drivetrain changes would be shocking for Lexus. Toyota doesn't seem to have any interest in keeping up with the Joneses in the horsepower wars. They pick an engine, build it for the power they want for the chassis it goes in, and only rarely adjust power during the model's run.

We'd all love to see a Chevy style, "Yeah we put different cams in it and reworked the exhaust for another 20 hp" but I've never seen Toyota do this in the 30 years I've owned their cars.

Very true - I've only owned Toyotas/Lexus' and they rarely bump up HP and/or Tq ever and if they do they are very mild maybe 10 HP at most. Like Lubo said they usually wait until the next model run then do what they gotta do to it. for instance IS350 has had 306HP since 2006
meanwhile Infiniti gives you more and more HP almost every 2 years

It will be a 2012 with a few tweaks.

The 2014 will be the next leap in IS-F.

2013: Current generation with suspension tweaks (not insignificant though) and colors (ultra white and liquid platinum). This was detailed in another post.

2014: Next gen IS. Hopefully GS F shows up to the party too.

2015: Next gen IS F.
