Looks pretty accurate to me in regards to the latest Lexus styling trends, with those folds and creases. Just need the TTV6 (whipped up to around 450hp) to make it's way into another IS F, I'd be one happy camper.

I hate the trunklid. It's too flat. I don't think Lexus will do that. I could actually imagine those headlights though - they resemble the UX's head lights.


Also I would like to point out that the functional brake cooling ducts are absent from this image. I doubt they will take those away.

Too Acura like for my tastes, but I get that everybody has similar styling now. How many years will it be, before mufflers start appearing again, and there are round tips with an ornament at the end?

(looking at the current BMW 5 and 7, I think the fat lady has nearly sung on this type of styling...it's not timeless)

Lexus should go KIA Stinger Hatch with the new IS. I don't think the style in the rendering is going help the IS do better than it has before.

Thank God this is only some magazines rendering and not an actual new model. Too much of the same. Literally every styling cue of all current Lexus sdeans mashed together while still looking very similar to the current generation. ��

Looking forward to the next IS, but this ain't it.

Edit... Are those wheels from an HS or some other old Lexus? Get this outta here.
