Ew no. lol
Here's to hoping it's not. I don't believe in this bullshit about making cars bigger and slotting another one under it to make up. The 2IS is scarcely larger than the 1IS, what they need to work on is keeping the weight in check.
BMW's lineup is far to complicated, and it's been their own fault, making the cars fatter and adding a shitload of SUVs. I'd rather Toyota/Lexus not go down that line. Plus they already have the CT, which is nowhere near sporting, but already smaller than the IS so slotting in something else (another 4 door) there, which will effectively be the same segment just adds to the confusion.
The thought behind the idea is good... it's just imo, a bad idea. Fix the problem at the source is what I say. Don't make the next IS bigger/fatter. Problem solved.
I'd rather have a Z4/SLK type car anyway.
