2006 Lexus IS250
This was just unveiled this morning, pics inside.

This is the Euro version, north america will get the 250 and also 350

Rumors are that our 250 will be powered by a 3.0L V6 producing about 245hp, the 350 will be powered by a 3.5L V6 with ~315hp

I like the current generation IS300 better. Its on my "To-Buy-Once-I've-Got-Up-To-Store-Manager-Status-At-McDonalds" list.

I find it pretty boring for a "new" design... The IS was a nice car.. but it's been out for so long it's just blah now... and this one is nothing special... Typical Toyota boringness... I know that Toyota makes good cars, but why do they have to be so boring and sometimes ugly?

The exterior might slightly change for the North American version especially on the 350 model.

At launch, meaning this fall we will get

IS250
- 6spd manual / auto
- all wheel drive
- rear wheel drive

IS350
- 6spd auto
- rear wheel drive

It's safe to assume that the next model year will have manual for the 350, first year IS300 only came with auto.

They also plan to release coupe version and a coupe hard top convertable version later down the road.

The IS300 only came with a manual since 2003/2004 no?

And it's been out since 1890?
