I hear that the more you reveal about it, the less painful it gets

Pictures are worth a thousand typiing


I'm reallllly excited to see the new IS coupe.
I love everything about it since it looks like the LFA and LF-cc genes are trickling down.

From what I can tell, its more or less the same as the current stock height, maybe half an inch lower

I saw the finished product back in January, and with the LF-CC concept debuting just now it's almost like what came first the chicken or the egg

thanks for the description Hoovey2411! this is exciting...i can't wait to see how aggressive it looks, especially the F-Sport! is the coupe being offered the same time as the sedan? or are they gonna be like a model year apart or something?

As of right now only the sedan will bow. The coupe will follow, and the F will bring up the rear 1 to 1 1/2 year after the sedan

Exciting news!! I just got my 2IS not too long ago since I'm not an early adopter buyer but I'm still interested in seeing what the next one is gonna look like.

Heard from the LF-CC thread that refreshed engines will make their way to both 250 and 350 on the MMC?

I'm in the same boat as you! Just means we get to wait for the price to go down on a used one

Unless a leak occurs (sorry guys ) by the Chinese or Lexus themselves, your first look should be at the Detroit International Auto Show in January. Sales should begin end of first quarter
