So what do you guys think the 2009-2010 2IS redesign/facelift will be?

I'm thinking:

front bumper (slightly more aggressive)
taillights
rims
turn signal side mirrors (similar to the GS450h)
power (slight bump)

 

I'm going to guess that they will dump the manual transmission option...it doesn't really fit the mission of the brand or the lineup (at least in the US market), Lexus clearly has NO interest in supporting it, and it's not executed very well anyway.

 

New colors
Different rims
Different grille

 

TWIN TURBO V-12 MIDSHIP

 

Come on guys.. the paint's barely dry on the '08s. I'd say probably not much of a change for '09 if other model lines are any indication. They seem to run in 5 or 6 year cycles before they come out with a new design.

 

i hate talking about this,i hope they do nothin to it.
but i guess a redesigned front bumper,and def new wheels.

 

haha, the car design has been out since 05, a change is most def coming soon

 

I don't care.. I would care if they changed in 2008.

 

The 2008 is only the third year of the current generation. Technically the car was for sale in late 2005, but 2006 was the first model year. There's still some life left in this generation of IS.

 

Exactly. The 2IS wasn't even out at the start of MY06; the first cars didn't start arriving at dealers until mid October '05, about a month later than the rest of the '06s.

 

They didn't do jack all for the 1IS, and they probably won't do jack for the 2IS.

 

Another new coin holder.

Truthfully, I don't see anything slightly major until 2010.

 

A coupe/convertible variant...

 

I could care less, by then my car will be past warranty, which means trade in time . If BMW ever brings the twin turbo diesel to the states, we might have a his and hers X5 .

 

need to upgrade the IS250 engine to the IS300 engine 245 hp
