Last year was the LS 460 L, this year the IS-F and who knows what else...excellent! 
I am looking forward to this, assuming that they do stream the presser online. It says video clip afterwards, which would be ok too...

I have a feeling that pressroom photo is a photoshop, wait till the car comes out. I hope they make it sufficiently different from the IS 250 and 350...of course it won't be a brand new car on appearance, it will of course retain ties to the new IS models, but I want to see some visual distinction.

I'd be lying if I said I weren't REALLY FREAKING EXCITED. Two big reveals at one auto show; Lexus, you couldn't have shown one of them at LA? 
This IS going to be a long month. The exhaust hole looks funny because of the reflection the exhaust tips make on the car. I think it looks quite good actually.
I love how the sports concept is like brushed aside as just another Lexus concept that'll show up compared to the freaking IS-F.

holy hell, I just wanted to post it again! I am so freaking excited.
I hope this car will be on par with new M3 in terms of handling so that I can say shut the hell up to M3 drivers.
Seriously, who is taking deposit?

Sounds like a beast, but the IS350 is good enough for me. I imagine the car will need a longer hood to accomodate the engine.
