Lexus will be releasing the third gen sometime in fall of 2011 - so yeah, still have 2.5 years to go, but better to wait for an year or two before buying the first year model so that bugs can be worked out. Who knows, it might become a bigger car, but I hope it doesn't become too big!

I want the 3gen IS to just destroy the BMW 3 series and become the king of sports sedans.

No need to wait for a year or two for bugs to be worked out. It's a Lexus, not a Chevy or Beemmer.
