Looks like a fake New BMW's tail lights

[habsfan]

^ yep you're right, 2006 model ill fix that :D

[Xtrema]

Front end is pretty aggressive, I like

Interior is just a copy of TSX, nothing new here. But still good.

C pillar is like Pontiac Grand Prix, again not original but not bad.

Tail kinda like the new VW/Audi/Infiniti.



Overall, I like this more than last IS. Wonder if they'll over only 3L in NA again. I won't mind the 177HP diesel if the car is light.

kinda looks like a G35:dunno: but i like it:thumbsup:

[dkny_stylez]

looks alrite:dunno:

[Altezza]

That's the european IS250 model shown above. We'll likely see an IS350 for North America with slightly more aggressive styling cues. Europe sees the IS220d and IS250.

[Shaolin]

Looks like an E60/G35..

How much? any specs?

[max_boost]

Is it just me or this car took styling cues from all other cars?

It's got some Mazda 6/G35/TSX all rolled into one. It's nice but I don't think it's amazing.

[crazydriver]

hmmm it looks interesting, very much like a BMW.. but still good looking

[JordanLotoski]

hawwwwwwwwwwt..personally i love it

[RickDaTuner]

makes me want to buy it for my old man for some reason?

I think this car is a mix of the TSX and the G35 with some old school Is300 in the mix

I've never been a huge fan of Lexus to begin with, but I actually like the existing IS styling better than this new one :dunno:

maybe its cuz the showroom car is a real product but IMO without the clear corners the luxury arrogance just isn't there for me, plus what happened to the altezza rear lights?

still a hawt hawt car though, right up there with the new 3 series :hitit:

[BokCh0y]

i'm in love all over again :love: :love: :love: :drool: :drool: :drool:

[Skyline_Addict]

looks alot like a g35

[Altezza]

North American IS350 to be introduced on Wednesday at NYIAS. ~300hp

[k_dawg]

I like it, the inside kinda looks like a TSX interior outside looks good.

[kenny]

anyone have actual MSRP figures on this vehicle? I'm sure its trickling down to ppl in the know since the car is supposed to be available in October. I'm not talking about guesses, but people with actual info? Curious what the MSRP on the IS350 is.

[Redlyne_mr2]

A good friend of mine works at Toyota Canada. Ill get the specs if your curious.

I know that the IS250 will be at the same price point of the current IS300 (as quoted from Lexus executives). Look for a starting price around $50k for the IS350.

Official MSRP won't be released until weeks before official launch. Toyota keeps everything very tight lipped until the last minute where regional reps even don't know.

[Sorath]

looks awesome.. i want it now

[kenny]

Black one... looks sharp! but I bet white would be better :D

I dont think there will be one. Lexus has never had an IS coupe, or any car cept the SC.
300hp sounds promising tho.

[kenny]

Coupe is supposedly coming out in 2006 as 07 model.

:eek: that would look amazing
any spy shots out yet of the coupe?

[Altezza]

I've seen pics of a some of the official colours and they don't look all that spectacular to me. They look nice, but nothing 'wows' me. The colour palette is similar to the new GS. There is no gun-metal colour for the new IS :( Unless it's tungsten pearl :confused: The white is Crystal White Pearl, which is the same white on the current IS300. I preferred the Diamond White Pearl of the 2001 (much brighter and cleaner looking white).
