Cool vid indeed. When I first saw the redesigned IS, I didn't really like it. I haven't looked at it since the reveal but now looking at it again, I kinda like it.

 

You mean the bubble that includes owning both an S4 and Q5? And 3 Porsches? That bubble?

 

Why use a 200? Because a turbo would be more appealing?

 

because the lower model probably sells more. like bmw 328 vs 335.

 

Found this on ***************** Instagram page.

 

I wonder if those headlights and bumper can be retrofitted. I don't imagine the hood or fenders being different

 

Wow is300h

 

probably not for our market

 

I just realized how good this new bumper look. How can anyone who owns the current model say this is ugly.

 

Looks like the hood and fenders are the same. But i bet those headlights are expensive.

It's certainly no improvement.

 

If the guy can afford an Audemars Piguet, he can afford a better car. 8)

I'm with you. I thought that the front-end of the current model is overdone, but it looks tame in comparison to the 2017.

 

Fenders maybe. hood is definitely different

 

You sure about that? Pay attention to the angles. That would be an EXPENSIVE factory retooling procedure for such a minor sheetmetal change. The die-press alone would easily be in the 7 figures. I am fairly confident the hood is the same. no reason to change it for a mid-cycle refresh.
