Revised Lexus IS
Last Updated:
I guess this will be a 2010 model since it will be introduced early 2009.
On top of what you see, they will get new wheels as well.
And I would guess a much needed boost for the base 2.5 liter engine.

Oh great. New plastic pieces. How about updating the Camry front end or the economycar tail. Well, I spose the mirror blinkers are useful.
It looks like they added LED tail lights, which will make it look much better and upscale. The rest isn’t really much of a departure from the current model.
I agree that the 2.5 does need a few ponies, but I doubt they’ll squeeze more than 5-6 out of the current engine. Maybe they should just make it the IS300 again and boost the power to the 230-240 range.
For me, this has been a very nice, rewarding car to drive and own. Lord knows it’s has been extremely reliable, too. I’d buy another one in a heartbeat. Resale isn’t too shabby either.
And like the incomparable assh*le…excuse me…automotive expert said, mirror signals are useful. They are a smart safety/visibility feature that would be welcomed on all cars.
Hey Vince, you deserve a vacation like the Carscoop folks do, too. We’d miss ya, but do yourself a favor. Your fans would understand.
I’m glad they rid of the rear taillights. This design seems to look better.
I thought this was due to be replaced. It just seems outdated. I never have found it to be a very smart looking design and am surprised Toyota isn’t going to have something to replace it sooner.
Looking forward to it…but where is the coupe? Come on Lexus, show us the goods…
