the back looks like another car. I can't put my finger on it, but it reminds me of another car a lot, especially the tails.

Probably the new 5 series BMW, but the sideview looks like similar to a G35.

I hope that the 2.5L engine isn't the only option.

Looks like a cross between a 5-series and a TL.

I see the Scion in it. Don't like the thought of 250. They should keep the 300 as an option at least.

No, they are have the is250, is350, and possibly is430. Lexus is also bringing an AWD and is250 will outperform the current is300.

no doubt. I've always loved the old version but that V-6 was pretty anemic for a car that costs over $30k. They need to put that V8 in there like Rod Millen did on that episode of "Rides". I'd buy that for a dollar!!!!!

An IS430 would certainly be intriguing!
