if this rumor is true (highly doubt it), if i'm in the market for an IS now, i'd go get an IS350 F-Sport right away. 8 speed auto tranny would've be on the new 4GS as the other poster mentioned. the 2.5 v6 needs a revamp bad, it's under power while isn't that much more efficient than the 3.5 v6. they should bring back IS300, use either a tweaked 2.5 motor (225 hp, 200 lb-ft) or a new 3.0 motor.

Next IS should look a bit more stylized and swept back than what's seen above. I too don't think that's it.

It is a CT
IS true coupe is coming, not just an IS C this time. Hybrid coming as we discussed. The GS is now considered sportiest or one of the sportiest in class, the IS will drive even sportier. Interior quality will step up of course.

Sorry, my mistake. I pondered about that for a while and considered it an ugly replacement, but figured(at the time) that the NAIAS display of the '14 ??, '14 LS, "13 ES, '13 RX, '13 GS, and '13 GS referred to the three on the left being yet-to-be-seen new models. It looks like the next IS wasn't included among them, but the facelifted CT is.
