I predicted the 8-speed a few months back but was pretty sure it's carry over power trains. Thanks for confirming tranny. Guess I can officially part out and trade in first quarter of 2013!!

What about the next gen IS-F? Will it be released with the 3IS next year or likely a year or two after? I'm only upgrading to a new F if I upgrade. Tired of my slow is250 (but will keep it for a daily

)

Hoovey2411, since you've seen the 3IS, does shape of the dash look similar to the concept LF-CC's dash?

Similar in concept/layout yes, but in reality it looks like a mini 4GS ie materials and design

So when will we see pictures

Also, I hope the rear seats don't get any more cramped than it is. Your description of the rear is pretty similar to the LF-CC announced today as well. I like it.
