Lexus Releases First Official Photos of the Next Generation IS
- All-new exterior featuring Lexus spindle grille design and Lexus-first independent L-shaped Daytime Running Lights (DRL)
- New interior design with LFA-inspired, driver-focused cockpit
- F SPORT exclusive interior/exterior features

TORRANCE, Calif. (Jan. 9, 2013) - The all-new Lexus IS compact sport sedan will make its world debut at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit on Jan. 15, 2013. A press conference will be held in the Cobo Center at 9:30 a.m. EST, and live webcast streaming of the event will be available at http://www.lexus.com and on the Lexus Facebook page.

The all-new IS model range will include IS 250, IS 350, and the first IS to feature Lexus Hybrid Drive, the IS 300h, which will be available in Europe, Japan and other international markets. F SPORT models will be available across the full range. Today Lexus released photos of the all new IS 350 F SPORT in advance of next week's World Premiere.

 

There are some things I like and some things I don't. Overall I think there are a few parts that I will perhaps use on my 2IS (like wheels maybe), but I don't think I like the car. Definitely not sold on the car until I see it in black and in person.

Interior looks pretty nice, but it's missing a shifter, haha. The 2-piece headlights are whack.

I am stunned such a concept car/exotic looking front end made it to production. I can't see how such a complicated bumper could be cheap to build with all the cutouts, especially with the completely separate LED housing.

There will simply be no confusing this with anything else on the road, Lexus really is doing a great job with the new Spindle.

Someone please photoshop some aftermarket wheels and lower it.

I think I was on the money when I said most aggressive in class. Now the real question is how it drives against the ATS which is beating the 3-Series

It would be nice if the GS got a refreshed bumper mid cycle with a full spindle and not the tiny little half one. More aggression

 

I have seen the car in August and I can confirm this is the closest depiction of the car.

EDIT: NVM didn't realize the pictures were just released a few hours ago. Wohooo no NDA to worry about!

 

So you don't like the LF-Gh, the LF-LC, and the LF-CC either? I always thought this is how the spindle grille should look like, without any interruption in the middle, but thought it simply would never happen on a production car where front license plate mounting is a requirement. I'm glad that it's staying true to the concept here.

 

I definitely can't wait to see the New IS F - I love the new interior (although the steering wheel is a little busy), and the exterior is gorgeous. I think it would look substantially more impressive with 19"s - hopefully that would be a factory option up front.

Also after experiencing how well the GS F-Sport handles, the new IS has got to be amazing

 

a very interesting design.
all in all i would say (and this is my opinion) GS remains to be the worse looking New gen Lexus. they should absolutely keep that grill

 

AMAZING! Super jealous!
