that's the worst Photoshop hack I've ever seen, I'd take it with a pinch of salt

[lexicon]

Hmmm, I posted this link in "news" on 30th November except it was edition 38 (not 37) so it was a month "newer".

I agree with Notorious (again :smilegrin: ) 'bout the photoshop bit - unconvincing.

[brn7y]

Sorry Lexicon, I found it when serching for somthing else.

Just thought I would post it anyway.:(

[Monster-Mat]

[Steve]

Brn7y;

Sorry, I didn't mean to suggest that you shouldn't have posted it - keep up the good work :)

It's interesting to compare the "pictures" from September & October and see how much it had changed in 4 weeks :D

They may well have been scanned from a mag, but that doesn't make them real - just CG artist's impressions.

Have added 4 photos to the gallery, click the links below and play guess the fake.

all fakes,someone loves photoshoping........:D

[Steve]

the cabriolet looks so fake!

[NotoriousREV]

not only does the cabrio look fake, it proves that an IS cabrio wouldn't be such a great looker, looks very bland!

[brn7y]

Answers,

The blue one is a fake, I did it myself, attached the original.

The jury's out on the yellow one.

The cab is fake, they overlayed a Merc cab on top of it.

The silver one is fake, they used a Merc CLK rear quarter.

[SuperChargedL]

All pictures of 2004 Altezza/IS are fake.

The "news" on the front page about 2004 Altezza/IS is fake

They will not put a V6 engine in Altezza/IS.

[Monster-Mat]

my "contact" at TTE has confirmed that all future lexus engines will be of the "V" configuration,the top model IS200.......Is going to use a 2.5 v6 turbo

[Steve]

i give up.. i will leave the news as it is... makes it moe interesting! :)

[SuperChargedL]

So, it is "IS250"?

V6 engines may be true, but all the picture we have seen are not true, they all look ugly.

I6 engine is generally better than V6, right? http://www.fortunecity.com/silverstone/lan...ine/smooth3.htm" target="_blank"> http://www.fortunecity.com/silverstone/lan...ine/smooth3.htm

[Monster-Mat]

"V"6 engines can produce more torque but run outa puff a lot sooner than inline 6
