I don't really want to read all 21 pages of this thread, so I'm just going to ask if there's any word on if it will have a new powertrain? (Not including the possibility of a hybrid). Is a new V6 or turbo I4 or anything in the works that we know of? Or is that still a mystery?

Powertrains are carry over. 350 does get an 8-speed automatic and 250 get a reprogrammed 6-speed ala GS.

Lexus's patent on NX200t tells us a 2.0L Turbo is in the works but most likely mid cycle

I heard from my dealer for few month ago that Lexus has stopped the production of the current IS and people who ordered new cars are from the factory stock. Once they are gone they are gone. Also, since few month back the IS can only been ordered as F-sport edition (in white pearl and starlight black) with a reduced price to sell them out.

I wonder if the front end on the 3IS will look deformed to comply with these European pedestrian crash standards.
