My personal wishlist.

*Turbo 3 liter pushing ~350 hp
*Mechanical rear differential
*Wider Navi screen


Everything else looks great to me. New headlights, new LED taillights and turn signals. New chrome rectangular exhaust like the RX350.
Why would that be a coupe? The coupe is RC. This is an IS.

Need to see it all uncovered but maybe I decided too soon and said I wouldn't like the new front. Those orange turn signals look fire doeeee...

I hope they don't get rid of the predator look. I love that face. It screams to the car in front of me "get out of my way or I will swallow you whole!"

I don't think it'll be an ISF from those pics, but I do hope the ISF is in the works. The RCF and GSF are just priced too high.

They have the internals, I'd be very surprised if they didn't drop the new improved 5.0l into the ISF to compete with the M3.

Yes, you are correct. However, the pic he was referring to, you can not see a rear door line.

Yeah it's quite strange but if you look at the rear, you can see a door handle shape from under the cover

Seeing these leaked images of the facelifted 3is makes me wish I waited haha. So far so good from what I can see. Lexus should have put a sportier rear diffuser on the Fsport from the get go.
