Just spoke with one of the head hunchos for Lexus. They're changing the flat form and adding more power to compete with the m series and AMGs. 2015 but it sounds like more towards 2016. I hope it's gonna happen. I don't wanna name names and his title but I do have his business card and he is driving the new is 350 2014

From what I gathered they're basing things on the GS. They'll build a better engine and just simply
Make the performance
Much better. He also invited me on September 14 for some event that Lexus is hosting in Anaheim. LFA and possibly lfc?!? Will be there.

Unless his name is Akio Toyoda, I don't think any of us believe any of this rumor mongering anymore. It will happen if it happens. Meanwhile, enjoy the beast that is the ISF!

I'd give him a bit more credibility if he was driving the '13 LS.

Wouldn't it be more for marketing strategy though? Stop judging a book by its cover.

Would he be referring to the New RC-F? There are quite a few renderings but nothing within the power range of the German competitors 550ish > 450ish. Eh who knows, they would just need to hurry up and get something going, their competitors are killing them at the moment...

Corporate head honcho or Dealer head honcho? Big difference...

I agree that they need to hurry, the sooner the better, but Lexus will likely take their jolly ol time trying to ensure quality.

It may have been an RC-F and just misunderstood him.
