In the 2 Gen section, everyone is anticipating the Gen3 IS will be available in 2013.
Will Lexus release Gen3 IS-F in 2013 as well?

I'm confident we will see a next gen IS F, the only question is if they will offer it in a coupe version.

^I second that. It would compete well against the M3 coupe for sure, but the seating configuration is already like a coupe, so it'll be even tighter for rear passengers. And I don't think the C63 is offered in coupe form either. It looks damn good as a sedan already, but the hood bulge and large look of the front might look like a weak body kit if there were to be an IS F coupe.

The ISF's paddle shifters are far superior to a traditional manual transmission. Ferrari has done away with traditional manuals in lieu of robust, responsive paddle shifting.
I'm even hesitant to say "if it's good enough for Ferrari, it's good enough for the ISF" because that makes it sound like you're giving a lot up with the ISF's "sport direct shift" transmission over a traditional manual transmission, but really it's just the opposite. The ISF's paddle shifting is flat out superior to traditional manual transmissions.

I was hoping that they would release all IS models (ISx50/F) for the next generation at the same time. I don't see why this would be hard to do. I don't want them to release the ISx50 series first to where I'm like "Oh my goodness! That new ISx50 is so hot! Can't wait for that new style on the F!" It all has to do with marketing I guess.

A refresh in 2013.........SURE!!!! What I want to see
1) Fixed steering column paddle shifters...think Lambos
2) Steering wheel red line indicator
3) More Recaro style bucket seats.
Better yet if they could copy the Porsche GT2 RS interior cockpit...that'll work just fine

I think a coupe would look great.
Things that I'd like to see on the next gen IS-F are:
- reduced curb weight
- AFS going away; it's useless to me and it's just more stuff to go wrong....
- LED headlights?
- a third pedal
- more unique exterior colors....the colors offered today (besides USB) are low key and not really unique

As far as a Gen3 ISF, i hope they offer some kind of adjustable suspension.
