From the side view, it looks like the new GS. I like it. Now what is going to be in the engine bay? The new 3.0L V6 in GS?

It looks okay for now, but I hope it'll look a little sportier. I also don't see rip-offs. Nowadays, there are TOO MANY damn cars that any new car that comes out would resemble some other cars. I think it's almost impossible for car designers to come up with a fresh car that doesn't resemble another car, except for exotic cars.
What about the Pontiac Aztec?

More pics from IS300.net:






Car looks better in these pics, imo.
from the look of these pics, the new IS will retain altezza-ish taillamps.

bOmberman......your Tc side by side was.......well..........the bomb.

I would gladly take the exsisting body style w/ a 4.0l V8......I don't want a Tc.........
why do people have such a huge thing against the tc?? imo, the tc's styling is a lot more impressive that a lot of the higher model toyotas.

Nobody has anything against the tC...they just don't wanna pay $35k for a rebadged tC

Hmm, FWD, 4 cylinder econo box vs. RWD 6 cylinder 3-series fighter ... i guess the RL is just a $50k rebadged Accord too.

Its nice, but the rear is a blatant rip of the 5 Series.

Tail lights maybe, but it doesn't have the signature Bangle trunk (thank god!)
