Default TRD new suspension and body kit

Does anyone here know if the suspension kit will fit older IS350’s?

Considering the 2021+ IS has new suspension components, it would have to be something that still bolts up to the older chassis. Not sure which part you mean when you say "suspension kit".

That new IS350 looks like a Camry.

Toyota really does not give a **** about enthusiasts.

I very much disagree, the new IS looks even better than before (I'm not a fan of what they did with the center stack/tablet though). To the Camry, Toyota finally started to care about enthusiasts again by actually styling it and offering a TRD trim level for it specifically targeted at enthusiasts which put the V6 in a relatively inexpensive package.

If all you care about is styling and the two look close enough to you, you can save a ton of money by getting into a Camry over an IS, you just have to deal with FWD or an I4 and part time front biased AWD.

Other things Toyota has done recently in an attempt to get in with enthusiasts:
FRS/GT86/86 partnership with Subaru
Supra partnership with BMW
GR-4 Yaris (that the USDM will not get)
There is also a hotter Corolla in the works (based on the GR-4 Yaris)
