Whys there so much hate for hyrbid? Lexus makes the BEST hybrid system in the market with a marked improvement in PERFORMANCE and economy.

I will also guarantee that it wont look ANYTHING like that when its released.

Because weight?

Just looking at the next car up, the GS. The regular petrol model weighs 3800lbs, whereas the hybrid model weighs 4200lbs...


Obviously, the IS version wouldn't add as much, but even 200 lbs is too much to tack onto a performance car. Although, I guess it woun't be much of a performance car...

I think 400lbs for the hybrid system sounds a bit ridiculous...

how much does an ISF weigh?

I'm just pulling numbers from Lexus...


IS250 AT is 3435, IS350 AT is 3527, and ISF is 3780. So, perhaps the Hybrid model would weigh as much as the F-Sport V8 Model (assuming there is one), which I guess is alright...

Im awaiting the new IS. That just means the older ones will be cheaper and more affordable

They basically put a black (or body colored) bar separating the bottom and top of the grille and you have what the production one looks like!

the most exciting part about all of this is the news of a "new" 2.5L I4 with D4-S. there have been talks about a 4 cyl turbo from toyota for some time now, so this may be it.

I think its been confirmed, the 2014 Lexus IS will be built on a shorten version of the 2013 GS chassis. Just like the current model.
