If it ain't broke...

If you think it is, then you gotta pay to play.

I'm sure some new 3IS owners will envy your 2IS. Nice clean looking 2IS!

Thanks! I can actually see the headlights and overall front end, with exception of the grill, are still similar to the 2IS, I think this video may have more attention to detail.

From what I gather, Lexus will do something similar to what they did with the introduction of the 3rd gen GS. They introduced the new body style then came out with new engines later. I also hear the 250 will go the Audi route with a turbo 4cyl.

The front is sharper than the GS front and has larger, squared-off intakes below. Also, look at how similar the fronts of the GS (non-F Sport) and ES are and you could see Lexus going this route to give every car a similar "face". I wouldn't count it out. If that's it, I like it, but then I have a GS.

i am for one though glad that Lexus isnt in the horsepower war with its regular IS line-up

leave the horsepower race to the F entrants

306hp is plenty already and not slow for this car by any means
