I think the pics above are definitive photoshopped:

I'm sooo glad!!

Bheuuuu if this is the new IS, they're getting mad in the Lexus design center

Remember me the Wolks add "it's ugly but it works"

The back looks like the Mazda 6 to me....

Looks like the picture posted about 10 days ago - but definitely photoshopped.

[Chris.S]

Isn't it more a case of the Mazda looks like the IS? Blatant copying!

[vince-com]

Yep the 6 is a fake copy of the IS, interior, exterior, etc, etc...

If that's a real pic of the replacement IS200, then someone at Lexus is now out of job.

Still, seems to have fooled a lot of people.

The only real one is the one in the disguise kit, still not convinced it not the IS430 though

i can assure yo that it isnt the is430....i asked my pal at TTE the other day.......its a test mule for the next generation IS models........belive me

[Risky3301]

SuperchargedIS200, I am not doubting your word as you are much closer to what's happening with your contacts at TTE, But there's something not quite right with that car 'Mule' or Strutural Prototype. Because Lexus have started pushing the IS200 with increased marketing incentives and that usally only means one thing, 'Get rid of old stock' because they about to launch a new or revised model that will kill the appeal of the current model.

Just my GUT feeling............

i see your point.......i have been told what is under that clothing.......but been sworn to secrecy on the finer points

it isnt using a inline 6

it isnt an auto

it has a wider trac.......for reasons!

[Risky3301]

I know where your coming from, it's difficult knowing what's going on but can't share the information, after seeing the write up in Auto Express, it will see the light of day but not sure about the Auto version I think that's a red herring. don't see the point of strapping over 300 bhp to an Auto Transmission. Not unless it's an 'ASM' Transmission.
