Default 2004 Is300?

Now here's some interesting information...information/photo from Scoop...

2004 Toyota Altezza / Lexus IS

Instead of evolution, Toyota continues the Japanese way of updating models: revolution. The next Altezza, which will continue to be the basis of the Lexus IS, will receive a much more aerodynamic looking front end. The pulled-back headlights of the Windom and Camry will continue to be an integral part of all future sporty Toyotas. The engine will be changed to a more compact V6 design with the same engine capacities as of now (2,000 cc and 3000cc). The top-spec model will likely develop 250ps to beat the BMW 330i's 231-hp.
Looks kinda "bulky" to me...almost SUVish...but then again, so the GS at times..

V-6?!?!?! Come on!

It's ugly, plus they're changing the motor. Sounds like it's a sportier ES300 ... nothing more, nothing less.

Puh-lease.
This crap has been flaoting around for a few months, and is a complete fabrication, based on the updates that were done on the RAV4 and Camry.

Don't worry, I don't think Lexus has any plans to throw the design in the crapper.
You guys know that this is a photoshop'd image, right?
