New IS in Fall os 2005
From June's Automobile Magazine...
"As with the Lexus GS300, the IS300's in-line six-cylinder powerplant will be replaced by a similarly sized V-6. A larger-displacement engine (3.4 to 3.5 liters) also is expected in the new IS. Toyota has been considering V-8-powered versions of the current IS to bolster the car's image until the new model arrives."
Take it for what it's worth

Well, then the new IS is unbuyable for me...
why all the shifts to V6? I hated v configuration engine, doesn't seem to be smooth at all... Tried ES300 and the engine is just not as smooth...

not to be a bubble buster but didnt they create the iS300 for the "younger crowd" and thats why its priced the way it is? so if they ever dropped an 8 in it for americas market it would be a special edition and priced very high. not for the young crowd at all. i guess thats why you see so many of them even with older people. manly for the price and the fact its a lexus not because of its look. i duno if we'll ever see a 430 here i wish and i wish for a manual as well b/c though i love my gs4 to death i would take an iS430 anyday over it if its a stick.. high price or not.
