I'm a bit disappointed not gonna lie, it looks like it will handle significantly better but with no more power to back it up, its going to get crushed by the new tlx and basically every sport sedan, even a bloody volvo s60 is faster than the current is350

 

No more power? How do you know that?

 

well seeing that the engine is identical, as an NA V6, it might definitely have more power, but not significantly. Now let's see about the rumored is500!!

 

That's what I mean. I think they'll add the TT V6 tbh, not the V8

 

disappointed in the interior, looks like little was done to it, only a minor refresh as the panels look the same. the addition of apple carplay is nice but does not warrant an upgrade.

 

Really? The door panels are completely different, cupholders changed, new air vents, new infotainment, gauge cluster upgraded and I believe they added piano gloss to the center stack (that I don't care for).......I like the changes made to the interior tbh. They were never going to do complete overhaul

 

Like with all Lexus models they always look better in real life. The angles Lexus use in their design is meant to play with the light and create creases and folds and different shades of colour.

I'm excited to learn about the major engineering changes, surely it's not simply reskinned.

 

Jesus, the rear tail lights look hideous. Had to make them horizontal like that? Absolutely ruined the car.

Good riddance to the IS, i'll take a look when the 4IS comes around, and after seeing this garbage I can only imagine what the 4IS will look like.

 

I love the lines on this car, side of this car still looks amazing imo.

 

Remember this rendering leak a couple years ago and most thought there was no way that it was real. It wasn't far off. Lol

 

I like that side view too! Taillights look better than I thought and really liking the DRL integrated with the headlight housing. Seeing it in motion in that commercial was great.

 

Side profile is stunning! It has a fastback shape and the swooping rear quarter has always been so distinct. You cannot mistake it for any other car.

I like the front. Aggressive, mature and muscular, the proportions are beautiful. Current IS and GS design I felt always needed something to fill in the front end like a little bit that was missing. Front splitter helped with that.

I sold my IS350 and bought a GS350 2018 but now it looks old!

 

IS looks like an ugly Camry.. failure

 

This redesign is giving me baby-ES vibes, not bad. Now all we need is competitive power to match its sporty looks. Also, the least they could have done is change the engine cover. Fingers crossed on the return of the IS-F name and power.
