At the Chicago auto show, the Lexus rep told me they are making a 2dr hardtop and convertible model of the IS that will have 300hp and RWD. The vert is likely what I will replace the celi with someday if its nice.

i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this.

Reminds me kinda of the M5... the bottom 1/2 of the front bumper... I really hope the actual car doesn't look exactly like that.

Anyway... more than likely the new IS series will all run the New GR series V6 engines, currently found in the Avalon 3.5 with dual VVTi and in the Taco trucks (4.0)...

Sad thing... these were designed as truck engines and just turned out to be really flexible... now they're gonna get circulated a bit. Won't feel much like a sporty car anymore...
