Default 2013 Lexus IS?

I'm pretty sure this is just a horrendous rendering, but I'm curious as to what the 3IS will look like. It's pretty clear it will use the new "spindle grill" that shocked everyone but has since been warmed up too. Do you think this will work better on a smaller vehicle? Also, is there any info on this awesome sport sedan? any rumors?

There's a long 3IS speculation thread in the 2IS section too

It seems Lexus is going the Audi route with a grill design that will be brand recognizable.
Good idea but I'm not liking that grill design.Maybe it will grow on me.
