See below for some interesting info on the spec from MSN cars:
'The all-new IS has adopted the GS 300 and GS 430 styling by featuring their grille, flared wheel arches and a sculpted bonnet. Wider and longer than its predecessor, the new IS has short front and rear overhangs providing a low center of gravity. Rear tail lights use LED lamp clusters and wrap round the rear corners.
Inside, the door panels flow into the dashboard, and gear-shift paddles are integrated into a new steering wheel, allowing drivers to shift without changing grip on the wheel. With the increased length of the car, the rear legroom is increased significantly.
The IS will get the most advanced navigation system available from Lexus, along with the Lexus Smart Keyless Entry, which allows entry and starting via a start button without needing to remove the key from your pocket or purse.
Lexus will also launch its first diesel powertrain in the new IS. The 2.2-litre common-rail diesel will produce an impressive 295lb ft of torque (400Nm) at a low 2000rpm. Also available on the new IS will be a 2.5-litre V6 with Dual VVT-I which controls both intake and exhaust valves. Developing 204bhp, the V6 will be available with either a 6-speed manual transmission or a new 6-speed automatic transmission.
There are plenty of new safety features in the new IS as well. Among the many acronyms are Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM) system, Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Pre-Crash Safety (PCS) system, Traction Control (TRC) and Electric Power Steering (EPS). There are ten airbags standard on the new IS.'
PS- I'm putting my name down for the LF-A concept as soon as they decide to make it. I am hoping by then I will have a job and enough money to afford one
