Nice exterior looking. But the dashboard... Lexus could have updated the design with a fresh look like the interior because it looks very outdated.

Goodness, rather appalling half baked effort. Changes to the exterior but exact same interior as the previous model. Might as well kill off the IS rather than push out a half baked  'new model' that will just hasten its demise. The exterior IMO is quite nice and the package would be quite complete if the dashboard and cabin design had been similar to the UX. The camry's interior looks more modern than this IS's interior, LOL. Hope Lexus doesn't go down the same road as Infiniti......

Chassis (non-TNGA), powertrain (3.5 V6 NA & 6-speeder auto still within the line-up, are you kidding me?) and interior (99% same as previous IS) are still pretty much the same. 

Its almost like Lexus has given up on the small sports sedan segment. Agreed that this is at best a major facelift, not an "all-new" IS.

Audi set the trend once again. From jaw dropping (pun intended) size grill to full length LED taillight...

Looks better than both Audi and Mercdes in my opinion.

I feel as though most of the mercedes range is getting boring as they look all the same.

They have given up. Better stay with the Germans if keen on small Sporty sedans.

Err... the one in the video has after-market 20" with blackout kits.

BTW the 19" in the DHP are BBS forged (factory is in Japan). But with 3.5l old V6 engine.. I don't think there will be takers in SG

Do you know what is the price of the new IS300? in last few years, they were selling between 160-170k, sold like hot cakes.

Decent pricing for new model launch.

With additional negotiation, should get 180+ k

After 1 year, price should moderate to 170+k

Got any spec sheet to share? scanned copy
