hey guys i foudn this off of the auto spies website (www.autospies.com) if this is a repost sorry about that. But it appears that the LF-S concept is actually going to be the basis for the new design of the new IS. Comments welcome (both good and bad). I personally think it's a tad bit too radical for a lexus.

"Auto Spies World Exclusive: If you were like us, you were hoping that the next Lexus GS would be a re-badged LF-S, like the one shown in Tokyo...

Here's what we've found out...

Lexus threw everyone a curveball (including us). The real story on the LF-S is that you WILL see it come out as a Lexus...but surprise, the design of the LF-S is the next IS

The story is the GS was too far in development to change the skin to be similar to the LF-S.

Stay tuned....The IS will be the first Lexus based on the more modern and attractive LF-S design.

YES!!!"

doesnt look all that bad considering how bad a lot of the other concepts look. Most of them look like space ships or somethinbg. I like this one though.

I seem to be the few who love the look of LF-S :-?

If some of the more radical parts of the design gets moderated down a bit in final production, this would be a very sexy car, much better than TL and GS.

not quite sure but i didn't see anything about the IS..But i did see something about the ls :-?

also thats the Lexus Futureristic Sedan Just a Concept Car right now

 

[dpmredwing]

Look at the moderator's pic

Oh it was nothing to do with the pics of the supposed "new IS". It was the picture of the moderator!! What the hell is that!?

 

[sun5467692]

NON SENSE!

You mean the NEW IS300 doesn't come with door handles STOCK?

 

[sun5467692]

and that car is huge. I doubt that is is300. IMO, it looks more like next gen ES300

 

[lexusloversdotcom]

NO way :lol:

THAT IS NOT THE NEXT GEN IS

 

[SPEED_RACR]

auto spies is a pretty reliable source. However, i hope they are wrong on this one. Yea i agree with you sun5467692, it look too big to be considered an IS. But i think what autospies is saying is that the design (i.e. theme or whatever) of the car will be the basis for the new IS and not that the LF-S, as it is right now, is going to be the new IS. I dont know but i thought this was interesting nontheless. Keep the comments coming!

[BugginOuT]

[Malekreza11]

Where is the &*%* trunk? I don't want a giant hatchback.

 

[tsopranoMB]

horseshit! :shame:

that is NOT then next IS :roll:

 

[CRB]

It is just a concept guys...don't get your panties in a bunch. Some of those styling cues will be showing up but most will be vetoed by the consevatives who run the company.

 

[Kel3]

that car is ACK!
