I bought my 2010 IS350 a few weeks ago brand new. While I was there I asked when the next model update was, incase I wanted to wait for the 2011 to come out. He seemed to think that the update was originally for the 2011 but was pushed back to the 2012. But he was sure that there was going to be at least one more facelift before a whole new platform. He could be wrong but this is what I was told.

Nigel, for reference, how much are the current headlight assemblies? Are there different prices for AFS / HID models? Can you order IS headlight assemblies without projectors?

it all comes in one piece... it would probably cost 1200 for AFS/HID per set and about 700 w/o AFS

Also, the ISF's tach is going to be in the middle of the gauges. Kind of an lfa tach.

I gotta agree with the steering wheel, silver makes it look sooo cheap IMO; that would look good only in a Hyundai....well The All New Lexus CT is getting it too :P

Default 2011 IS Spied?



It appears that Lexus is preparing a facelift for the 2011MY IS as spy photographers snapped the test mule in China. The new facelifted version is expected to receive daytime running LEDs just like the LS flagship sedan, new fog lights, new rear lights as well as a new steering wheel. For those who don’t know, the last update to the IS range happened back in 2009 and this means it will be the last update until the next-generation will make its debut on the market.

I'm not interested in minor modifications, facelifts, and refreshes. Call me when the 3IS is out.

this is a facelift thread, not a next gen

besides... for all we know that could just be one of the HK modder guys rather than an official test mule

If this is how the IS is going to end up looking like in the future then I am going to have to start searching for a new model to replace my 2IS.

This thing is freaking ugly! 09 was going backwards too with the ugly tacky chrome!

When i had one unit replaced under warranty on my 2001 IS300 i was told it was $3000 cdn ..... but i don't remember if that was for one, or the pair.

So i would expect the $1500 per side guess is close to reality!
