No, there is no Hybrid for USA.

Too bad too, I think it would potentially sell well. Decent power, good mileage.

Is it wrong that I'm feeling the red IS hybrid more than the IS350 F-Sport?

An IS300h F-Sport would be very tempting to me right now.

I've seen lots of close-up pics on Automobilemagazine forum and I'm not very impressed. I think the current car looks way better. The interior is much better but outside I'm not feeling it...........yet. Here's hoping I warm up to it.

My thoughts exactly. Cringed when that started on stage.

I would probably bet on it, but it hasn't been confirmed.

My ratings of the new Lexus cars with the spindle:

ES350 - looks alright, nice flow.
GS350 - spindle is aggressive while the rest of the car is plain Jane. No flow.
LS460 - best of the new bunch. Bold spindle on a big car works fine.
EX - barely notice the spindle and the rest of the car looks ok but not very stylish.
IS - I kinda like the grill but not the rest of the car.

So which do you prefer? F SPORT or the standard look?
