Lexus IS platform?
Stupid question, but we know the ES is based off a Camry platform, and the HS250 is based off a Carolla platform..
What is the IS250/350/F based on? What other cars share its platform?

i think i know what Steven79 is trying to say. by not really comparing but assimilating the toyota-lexus models, i think it would be somewhat like this:
Prius- HS
Camry- ES
Avalon- GS
4Runner- RX
Sequoia- GX
Land Cruiser- LX
Supra- SC
Venza- CT200h?
not a stupid question by any means, but there are some similarities. i dont see anything from toyota that resembles the IS line. the 1st gen IS i could see somewhat resembling maybe a Corolla-like form.

You are right, I misread it.. it shares the engine... my bad.
"The HS 250h's platform is based on the third generation Toyota Avensis, itself related to the traditional gasoline engine Toyota Allion sold from 2001 to 2007, and is based on 2.4-litre-engined Corolla with electric motors. Other related models can include the Toyota Premio, Toyota Vista (5th gen), Toyota Opa, Toyota Wish, and Toyota Caldina (3rd gen)."

The Avalon is a long-wheelbase Camry platform, not a GS.
As noted the HS is based on the Avensis, a european model, not the Prius.
Apart from the ES I'm not aware of any current Lexus car (car, not truck) that shares a platform with any USDM Toyota car.
Among other things, Lexus cars (apart from the HS/ES) are RWD. Toyota cars aren't.
