Yup...looks like we're looking at an IS300 rather than an IS350.
Any word on the possible price?

Word on the street in Geneva indicates that the United States will get a more powerful IS 300 with the same 252-hp, 3.0-liter V6 that just debuted in the new GS 300.

the sheer fact that it looks strikingly like a Scion would make me not buy it...but people are badge whores and will most likely eat it up.
Good thing around here Merc and BMW wipe the floor with lexus...I even see more Saabs...
Weight for one maybe...the current IS300 weighs 400 lbs less than the current GS300...Originally posted by: infestedgh0st
hmm.... why isn't toyota sticking the 3.0 (3fs-ge ?) in the is and sticking the 350 in the gs? that's backwards in marketing
not bad, at least it gave me the "tsx" impression the very first sight of the car, which is exactly what it should be.
i still prefer the old one though, 2jz is simpyl the best engine toyota ever made (even though it's a gas guzzler)
btw nfs4 are you on is300.net? i am
