Is Coupe & 2 Litre Turbo @ Tokyo

Due out next year it seems the IS coupe (RC) will have more leather trim and a touchpad to replace the joystick. Both the exterior and interior look good but I guess it'll be priced at a significant premium over the IS300h and so will be out of my price range! I wonder if the UK will get both the 300h and 3500cc V6 power trains.

The rumours about Lexus developing a 2.0 litre turbo seem to be confirmed by the LF-NX article. Presumably it's performance and economy will match or better that of the IS250 engine so making that engine obsolete? However, the LF-NX isn't expected until 2015 so I guess the IS250 can be expected to continue for another year or two.

I just read about it and I think it is a stunning looking car! Possibly the best treatment of the "spindle" grill yet, bar the face-lifted LS460, in my opinion :)
