Hi guys,

Nice catch on the prototype! But I agree with the others, it looks more like the ES. It doesn't look sporty enough to be an IS IMO.

Yep looks like an ES and if it was an IS I'm definitely keeping my 2nd gen.

Heres the thread on 3IS discussion btw

It looks a little to big to be an IS. I hope this is not a sign of things to come.

On other matters, I can't wait for the new LS.

I looked at it and immediately thought ES. Good eye though! Keep us updated as you see prototypes!

I really hope everyone is right about it being an ES because that looks like a crappy camry.

If that is the new IS250/350 then it looks like a mixture of exotic + aggressive.
