Is Hybrid

[King of the Hill]

Hiya,

Do you think there will be an IS Hybrid and if so, where will they pitch it at? M3? :zee:

[Brettster]

My guess is no

the IS is the entry level for Lexus

as is the 3 series for BMW!

Would like to see it, but agree with brettster, it's unlikely.

Isn't the 1-series the entry for BMW?

A hybrid would be nice, but don't think it will happen either. Which engine would they use? Make an all new one or use the RXs 330 hybrid?

[ColinBarber]

I think Lexus plan to offer a hybrid option of all their models.

They have already made a new platform with the 3.5 V6 rather than the old technology engine from the RX330.

well then lex woul have to have an IS350h. M3 Killer me thinks :P

Will lex change the engine hybrid combo in the rx aswell and then also in the gs?

Imagine what the power of a hybrid in an ls or sc would be like...better yet what about an lfa hybrid. I think i'm going to cry...I'm off to rob a bank

[ColinBarber]

The GS will be the 450h. Maybe they will do an SC version as well? With the LS who knows, the new LS420 is out next year, maybe they will do an LS500h

[IS300KK]

Is there going to be a coupe version of the IS?

[Kazi]

I want a IS Covertable!! That would be sweet!! :D

the LS is on the cards Col - there will be a larger engine / longer wheelbase LS available, with a 5.0 engine I believe.

not heard talk of it being an hybrid though.

There was talk of a hard-top IS convertible wasn't there? Anyone know how far in the future that could actually happen?
