Looks like Lexus is ready for the second generation of their sports sedan.
Apparently it'll be available as the IS350 with a 3.5 liter V6, and a cheaper IS250 with a 2.5 liter V6. The new IS is larger than the previous one with more room inside. Options include the Mark Levinson stereo system, and iPod integration.
Interestingly, it will be available in either rear-wheel-drive, or all-wheel-drive.
Also of interest is that Lexus plans to sell this vehicle in Europe, going up against the 3-series and C-class.
No pricing announced yet. IMHO, the IS250 will probably be priced around the current IS. |

| Not really too keen on this - reminds me too much of the Infinity line, especially the c pillar and tail lights - at first glance, could easily be mistaken for the new M35/45 . . . |

I agree there are some Infiniti styling cues, I see some Scion tC (front), Acura TSX (side), and 5 series BMW (rear) also. In person I'm sure the M35/45 will be much bigger than the IS. Overall I like this car!:29: |

You can't be serious the cars look nothing alike.
Here are some more colors.
Nissan Teana and Fuga (our M35/45) looks nothing like the IS but rather look almost identical.

The IS has been sold as the IS 200/300 in Europe since 1997:4: |

| By far the IS looks 10x better. |
