Default Are NEW IS and ES Coming?

Why there are litterally no talks about the coming of the new IS and ES? Are they coming as 2012 or 2013 models? At least some pics/rumors elsewhere?

I've read 2013.
I doubt you'll see any early pics.
'12 Camry pics came out only a month or so ago.

For reference:

The ISx50 debuted approx 6 months after the 3GS in 2005. The 2006 GS was revealed February 2005, and went on sale that late summer. The 2006 IS was revealed July 2005, and was on sale by December.

The ES350 debuted approx 2 months after the last gen Camry in 2006. IIRC, the new 2007 Camry debuted sometime in February 2006, and the 2007 ES debuted sometime in March/April 2006. Both were on dealership lots by summer.

When the current ES came out a few years ago , it wasn't revealed until shortly before it was available for sale ...

ad I recall , the 3GS was launched Feb .2005 and was revealed a few months before that , the 2IS was launched about half a year later than the 3GS, the fall of 2005 .....

it will be more like Camry than GS reveal - they will be kept secret so Lexus can sell old models, just like Camry... GS is different since it sells bad so they could afford to announce and get media previews half a year before it will go on sale.
