2014 Lexus IS And The Big, Gaping Mouth

Here’s the first picture of the 2014 Lexus IS. This example is an F-Sport model, complete with the big wheels and some more aggressive body treatments. Unfortunately, we’ll have to wait a little while longer to see what the regular and hybrid models look like.

Aside from the IS250 and IS350, there will apparently be an IS300H Hybrid model which won’t be available in North America. The cabin, clearly a riff on the LFA, is said to be roomier – a necessary improvement given the traditionally tight quarters of the IS. The full story will be available on January 15th. Until then, enjoy the photos.

    the front of this car is a mess, especially the daylight running lights and the headlight cluster. they seem to have been designed by a completely team and tacked on like cheap after market parts. i'm shopping for a sport sedan right now but this isn't even going to be considered.

    old news ; new 2016 Lexus still faithfully ugly. Same for their RX300 for 2016. Sometimes,these design changes help bring out better designs. I'm liking the American designed cars more than many of the Toyota, Kia, and Hyundai(not all, to be fair). These grilles are comical designs...but wear well at Halloween.

  • Lorenzo People don't want EVs, they want inexpensive vehicles. EVs are not that. To paraphrase the philosopher Yogi Berra: If people don't wanna buy 'em, how you gonna stop 'em?
  • Ras815 Ok, you weren't kidding. That rear pillar window trick is freakin' awesome. Even in 2024.
  • Probert Captions, pleeeeeeze.
  • ToolGuy Companies that don't have plans in place for significant EV capacity by this timeframe (2028) are going to be left behind.
  • Tassos Isn't this just a Golf Wagon with better styling and interior?I still cannot get used to the fact how worthless the $ has become compared to even 8 years ago, when I was able to buy far superior and more powerful cars than this little POS for.... 1/3rd less, both from a dealer, as good as new, and with free warranties. Oh, and they were not 15 year olds like this geezer, but 8 and 9 year olds instead.
