06 Lexus IS preview possibly
these pictures are almost 99% sure chops. But some people on the is300.net board said they have family working in one of the plants, and verified that the new IS looks like these pics.
No one will know for sure till March 1st, but I figured I'd share.

no one has seen an actual picture of the car yet. It's unreal that a spy shot has not actually been released. It is released to the public on March 1st at like 6pm eastern time.

Mm, the V8 was the IS430 I believe? It was in SCC magazine a few months ago if I'm not mistaken, along with some lightweight carbon fiber SRT-4 (mmm...).
They got rid of the I6? Why the hell would they do that, the 2JZ was an I6, BMW has been using the I6 for ages now, they're smooth, responsive engines, I don't see why they'd scrap it...

ehh... all 3 look kinda sexy but dissapointing at the same time
at first glimpse.....
the first deep blue one has the front look of a [scion tc] an the mid-rear look of an [acura TL] to me....
.....the second teal one looks somewhat similar to the new [acura RL] especially that (mugen?) one, the orange sporty v8 one thats overseas
....and the third yellow one does have some originality to it besides the solara headlights....
but again these could be chops or photos to confuse the public
not the most original but ...

I agree with TKO the blue looks somewhat like a rounded TL.
I like the designs... they look great. Even the new Avalon looks better than the car it replaces.
