whether the pics are true or not. as long as they gonna enginneer a powerful engine into it and tweak the handling further is good enough since the base model already looks stunning.

True also dude!

But trust me, my gut instinct sez this is the Real McCoy…

pirate, just because a picture is published in a magazine doesn't guarentee that it isn't photoshopped.

to beat the upcoming M3 is most likely impossible. i just hope it wont be too far behind. the styling is lexus's IS series. and it certainly looks alot better than the 5 series, M5 and 3 series sedan. Like pirate said, the coupe 3 series can compete in terms of looks.

but i think this design is going to win lexus/toyota alot of fans. and i certainly hope they can improve on the lower end IS250 or 300/350 in terms of performance. more relevant to normal people. lexus quality and reliability already exceeds BMW even though not by much.

It is the closest asia has to be called 'Asia's answer to BMW'. instead of that other company that had the ability to issue such a stupid and bold claim for such a lousy product.

M3, RS4, C55AMG, DEAD.

I don't think these are photoshopped pix. Notice that the 2nd pix has paper fold lines. Likely nicked from a brochure or mag.

Overall, the IS200 is already sleeker and less fussy (read: more beautiful) than the E90. With this, it will be better than any M-Sport edition E90 (4-door sedan).

The coupe-bodied E92 new M3 may be a different story though…

Lexus IS500 M-Sport anyone?

dont be surprised if the car is a hybrid with the 4.3l v-8 giving power output equivalent to 5l

Every other car looks like some other car, get real, how incredibly different can a tailamp of a car be? Obviously there would be similarities, i hate comments like looks like camry, front like accord blah blah blah.Get real, thats really shallow.

you sure this isn't photoshopped? hmmm. looks agonisingly close to an M5's styling cues.. the tail lights also remind me of the new 3 series.

but then again, am becoming more of a fan of Lexus.

am soooo in lurve with those rims. haha.. damn the sexy.

This car is already a beauty in stock-form. Now with those sexy wheels and quad pipes… holy cow. That's orgasmic man.

On paper it seems to have all the right ingredients and design wise isn't that far behind. For this Lexus to really excel, it all boils down to whether it can deliver the goods or not. We will only know when someone takes it for an extended drive.

It's a tall order especially when the implicit target is the Ultimate Driving Machine.

I dont think malaysians r wise enought 2 buy this 5000cc car from their OWN POCKET after they know how much they r going 2 pay 4 the roadtax.

My God…420 horses? Sounds like a serious contender to the RS4! Now let us wait and see how it rides and handles…

Nice, though I think something is not quite right with the tail lights. And the wing mirrors would look more at home on an SUV rather than on a sports saloon. If I were as rich as a Sarawakian timber tycoon, I would get one in solid black.

not much originality in design …….

it looks like a bemmer 3 & 5 series mixed. kinda remind me of those chinese clone design of rav & crv.

if i were rich enough to choose between this and a bemmer – it will be bmw for sure. outside us, i'll have to say "lexus what?"……

The first photo looks interestingly similar to one of the official BMW M5 wallpapers. Even the quad pipes look exactly the same as the M5 ones, design and all. The side slatts are an obvious give-away. Looks really good we can only dream that it would look like this. IMHO, photoshop of the M5 wallpaper
