It looks awesome.

wow that looks allot better then last model

i like it but, IMO, its lacking the trade mark altezzas, hence the name Altezza, not to mention the circle tail lights.

i want this car

yea thats tru it does need the round lights and altezzas

^^I agree, but I still think its a pretty sweet car.

Looks like a four door Scion tC

that lexus looks like it dug outta the tc's ass with a tater digger. (thats southern talk for they look a lot alike)

I'm really trying here, but this car just dosn't move me...I know it's a sweet car tho

i like it..it does look like a 4 door tC though

lol wow nice comparison. does look aloot like a tc

It does NOT need Altezzas. Altezzas = rice. It looks very good as it is.

lol, i was gonna say that...but either way it does look nice

wow, they sure do look alike! I think it's a nice car and all...but it just doesn't do it for me...

It does look like the tC from the side view...but it looks completely different from the front view. Also, I think Sicon is releasing a new concept at the New York Auto Show...it's called the t2B or something.

love it

me want one

i almost bought an is300 but the only one i could afford was auto.

i see what you guys see, that it looks similar to the tc. but to me, it seems to have picked up more design ques from the camry. too "family car" ish for me

looks like a 4dr scion tc

i still like the current IS better... but thats just me

that is awesome

I like the IS 300 better

the agressive look is awesome, i just dont know waht happens when you reach the bottom of the front bumper, looks really gay and kina like a solora.

the only thing stock that i wish the new ones would have is a spoiler. im not a wingless guy.

and this is the european model, so by the time it gets to the US, who knows what it will turn into...and im also not too impressed with the dash nothing special.

i dont like the new tails i would have to see it up front but for now i like the is300

is250? so is the engine size going down from the current is 300?

what are the engine specs
w00t, jacob javits

^^ engine specs...I have no clue. They're showing the car at the New York Auto Show on March 23. We'll have to wait.

Base 250 is 201 hp and 184 tq according to my autoweek. The 3.5 L will produce 300 hp and have a 0-60 in the low 5 range compared to the old IS300's 6.8. V8 powered 430 doesnt say???

bleh, it's alright.

This may very well be my next car .

Bat-

Loox like a 4 door Tc to me .

looks like a scion TC or im just sleepy!!!
