I love the body line from the back bumper/ Tail light carrying through the rear wheel well and into the side skirt....looks amazing!

Well I'll say this, if Lexus builds something close to this, and it has the same or better performance numbers as our current ISFs (neither should be difficult goals to achieve), then I definitely forsee this as my next car. We're talking another 5 years down the road for me, but still... a promising sign I'll be in the lexus family for many years to come.

A vote for, no like!

Wheelbase seems shorter with the new IS, don't like. Don't like the spindle look on this one. I prefer or rather wait for the GS-F.

Top 2 versions look hot, not really liking the 3rd version though.

I lovin both sedan and coupe versions. Even if they go with a bi-turbo setup there's a 100% chance we won't be able to tune it. So we will get smoked by the new M3/M4's that come out.

The new design looks a bit too feminine IMO, not aggressive like it's competitors.....

Audi's RS5 looks much nicer, I guess only time will tell what Lexus does.

thanks for sharing
I agree, needs to look more aggressive. Reminds me of a Hyundai.

No, I'm with you. I am not digging this at all, very happy with my 2013.

I like both coupe and sedan ISF renderings but I think the coupe ISF version should be a bit more "Race Aggressive" not just aesthetically but even more race functional than its sedan counterpart. For example the M3 and M6 coupes have all carbon fiber roofs, etc. I also agree with you people that the ISF renderings are a looking a little feminine, it's fine for the F Sport models, But the real ISF versions should be more bold and race inspired.

I'm glad I have my current IS F...3rd generation IS I think looks terrible. Too drastic of a change.
