It'll have a 5 liter engine, from the LS600lh.

Looks promising so far, hate the rear exhaust though, looks nasty.

i'd take that over an M3 in a second if it has a manual trans.

Yup. I believe the only manual transmission Lexus now offers is in the IS250.

I was considering trading in our IS300 for the new 6spd IS250, but this car makes me want an automatic. That car is the hotness.

the RS4 is in a different class than M3 and C63. S4 is in this class. the RS4 beats the M5 with ease on a track.

The New M3 and the vehicle shown above will be in the same ballpark as the RS4. They will both have a V8 and be in the 400+ hp range. That is RS4 territory.

Mufflers (or at least finishers) have got to go.

Nice to see Toyota/Lexus stepping up it's game. :goodjob:

They bring more attention to the car by masking the front and rear bumpers. It doesn't look like there's any noticable difference between it and the IS350 besides the exhaust.
