I predicted the 8-speed a few months back but was pretty sure it's carry over power trains. Thanks for confirming tranny. Guess I can officially part out and trade in first quarter of 2013!!

It'll be much sleeker though and have the "lock indentations" like the RX, GX, GS, ES, CT and HS

What about the next gen IS-F? Will it be released with the 3IS next year or likely a year or two after? I'm only upgrading to a new F if I upgrade. Tired of my slow is250 (but will keep it for a daily )

The F will not be initially offered until at least a year after the 3IS. This would mean a 2015 model in 2014

Hoovey2411, since you've seen the 3IS, does shape of the dash look similar to the concept LF-CC's dash?

Similar in concept/layout yes, but in reality it looks like a mini 4GS ie materials and design

So when will we see pictures
Also, I hope the rear seats don't get any more cramped than it is. Your description of the rear is pretty similar to the LF-CC announced today as well. I like it.
