Default New LEXUS IS

IS 250.















Rumors have it a IS 350 will be released, possibly along with a coupe and convertible.

Lexus has been very tight lipped about the new IS.

Looks awful. If I wanted to buy a car that looked like a Honda Accord, then that's what I'd get. Plus we won't ever see that here. Places that had the IS200 (which I think was only in Australia) will probably get that.

A lot of the pacific rim countries got both the IS200 and IS300.

I think a sporty RWD 4-door car with Toyota reliability has always been a good idea. Now they just need to make a MT available from the get-go and price it right.

Hey Beachtyme, I hope that's not you complaining about no voltmeter on the IS forums. What a waste of a gauge.

IS 250 = 2.5 L V 6.

IS 350 = 3.5 L V6.

Will also be available in a diesel engine. 2JZ is being retired from this car, so no more I-6 for the IS.

Have heard rumors for HP and tourque, but would rather hear the exact #'s from Lexus themselves.
