This is from Lexus Europe's press releases:



Notice that 2 new hybrid powered models will be released in the Geneva Auto Show. Any thoughts? It can't be the GS, RX or CT. So are we expecting the new IS, ES or LS? Taking into account that it needs an F Sport version, it looks like the IS.
The two new models will be the RX F sport and the RX hybrid F sport.

What about the GX ? Seems like all models are getting updated except the GX...

This needs to be fixed,

Read the first post of this thread. Mr. Burns did exactly that, jump to conclusions. His conclusion was that based on the very vague front-end outline of a future Lexus model that he assumed to be the IS, he then concluded it would be a facelifted IS model and not a fully redesigned one.

The 2nd generation IS already had two facelifts. It's not getting another facelift. You can bet me on that if you want. The IS WILL BE a full redesign, just like the new 4GS is, and just like the upcoming ES will be.

That's a lot of assumptions from you. I am not "throwing my elitism" at anyone.

Burns, that wouldn't make any sense since they are saying "F Sport Hybrid", and the RX350 is not hybrid.

So far, we only know that the RX450h is debuting in Geneva and there's still another hybrid one, which we don't know.

IMHO, GX and LX need to be fully restylied to be competitive. Sharing platform with Toyota's Landcruiser it won't work on long term.
