If I remember right, 1 or 2 members were shown the actual pic of the new IS by a saleslady at one of the dealers at the GS300 debut a couple months back.... so if you're out there, are these accurate renderings????

I'm seeing a BMW 5 series trend going on with the head and taillights. I think Lex is hitting Bimmer market now. I looked at the ES, the GS... now the IS... all sort of resemble each other only being different sizes. The LS is the only one that sorta stands alone. But I reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaly love the LS. specially with a wald AC kit and rims all decked out.

Yes, like I mentioned in the IS forum, the overall car is looking close to the actual vehicle but not quite. There are a few details the renderings are missing. The tails are a tad larger and rectangular.

I gotta agree with some of the earlier posters....this car has been kept under wraps TOO LONG. Even AUTOWEEK hasn't really gotten a spy shot yet....and they get just about everything.
I know you said that it was done not to conflict with the GS at the last few auto shows....but the DC and Detroit shows are both history now and keeping the wraps on it is just wasting time now and annoying people.

The real IS will have larger tails and a little more rectangular than those "rendered" photos.

Businessweek also says "over 300hp" for the IS350....
