Then the new LS will have either a V-10 or V-12? or hybrid? I heard it is gunna have 500-600hp

Where have all you guys gotten your information? None of this seems to be based in fact. 05 will see the new 06 GS with a 3.0 @ 245 hp and the carry over 4.3 V8 at 300 hp. 06 shows the 07 hybrid GS with a 3.5 V6 and synergy drive for 400+ hp approx.

The IS will get a smaller 2.5 V6 (hp unknown) and a 3.5 or 3.6 V6 with 300+ hp. Sedan, and coupe yes. Convertible maybe. Wagon? Who knows. The Sportcross was loved only by people who owned them.

So far, no hybrid IS.

Consider the sources.

That pic has been going around the Internet more than that Honda Commercial. I'll believe that design when I see it for my own eyes.
