Shouyi 3rd Gear December 24, 2004 Share December 24, 2004 "IS200: This possibility was raised by a post in the Japanese-language Carview.co.jp website. I don't understand the language, but amidst the Japanese characters appears, in English: 5GR-FSE ?@V6?@2000DUAL VVT-i D-4 / 180ps/6400rpm,22kgm/4000rpm. This could refer to a 2-liter version of the new GR-FSE V6 producing 180ps (or 177-178 hp). This variant would be irrelevant to North America, but not to the rest of the world, where the Lexus IS200 is a mainstay of their lineup. Those figures, by the way, are an useful increase over the 153 hp of the current inline-6 IS200.

Porker Turbocharged December 24, 2004 Share December 24, 2004 I don't think its going to be 2litre. More likely to be 2.5L or 3L V6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porker Turbocharged December 28, 2004 Share December 28, 2004 Yup. Its a great car nonetheless. I really like it but there're newer and better cars at better prices (not necessarily cheaper) out there. Lets wait for the new IS. It should be out late next year or early 2006.
