Default 2013 is 350

Hi, does anyone have any more information on the 2013 IS350 redesign / release date? Will it be released by the end of 2012 as a 2013 model? I can't imagine they would wait until 2014 for the redesign...thanks

This is my prediction:

2013 is going to be the last year for the 2IS, there will be fewer options available (including dropping the 6MT option), and it's going to be a short model year with the 2014 model released sometime in early 2013.

Not much to back any of that up except gut feeling though.

This is what i think:
Lexus is more focus on the new GS, so the release of 3IS will be late tho, everywhere i go i see the commercial of the new GS. So i think the 3IS will be hold on for awhile
(GS is now having F-Sport model)

The GS is getting the spotlight now, then the new ES in Q3, and finally the new IS in either Q4 or Q1'13. And you can throw the new RX in there as well, sometime before the new IS.
