Is it really true.

Man This car is really hot.

I got that from the net today, but cannot find any info on it.

I even called Lexus and they are not aware of it.

That pic is definitely photo-CHOPPED. Check out the imperfection of the driver's window at the top, look closely, its warped!!!....lol

that second one is a much better photoshop, the first one is horrible in my opinion

im not too sure that IS actually stands for anything, but if it did...
i think they are
GS - Grand Sport
LS - Luxury Sedan
SC - Sport Coupe
LX - Luxury 4x4
RX - (I don't know what the R is for) 4x4
IS - Intermediate Sport
ES - Entry-level/Economy Sedan

Here's what I've always seen:

ES= Executive Sedan (Windom)
GS= Grand Sedan (Aristo)
LS= Luxury Sedan (Celsior)
IS = International Sedan (Altezza)
SC= Sports Coupe/Convertible (Soarer)
LX= Luxury 4x4 (Land Cruiser Cygnus)
RX= Refined 4x4 (Harrier)
GX= Grand 4x4 (Land Cruiser Prado)

the first IS coupe is a horrible photoshop i could have done that in my sleep. the Second IS coupe looks good but still looks a little shopped to me.

Either way i would love to see a IS coupe with the 4.3L V8.

I will keep on dreaming.

look at the back tire, you can see another tire underneath that top layer.And it looks like the gutter on the building is going directly into the window up at the top middle.And above the antenna you can see evidence of the smudge/blur tool.Along with the messy window frame.Its definately chopped up.

Default Sedan is not a rumor!

Have you guys seen the edmunds "rumor" yet?...
Dont expect toyo/lexu to disclose any information on future model information, there are the extremley tight lipped about that kind of stuff..


Nice un-touched picture on edmunds..
