Lexus Nerd Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Due to changed safety regulations, the just-updated IS as well as RC and CT will stop selling in Australia in November: https://www.news.com.au/technology/motoring/motoring-news/lexus-cuts-three-models-from-australian-lineup/news-story/d45d4b473a20dd4383a9e439e137a8e4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gspillane Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Now that's disappointing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlantis Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Extremely... I don't want a SUV of any sort, so getting rid of nearly the entire sedan/coupe range is ridiculous. I guess I have to keep saving for an LS, as there is no GS any more either 😞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder how that'll be inline 6 turbo co shared with mazda 6 biggest change here is the RWD layout of the 6 from FWD it wont be a mazda engine itll be a toyota deveopled engine using mazda R and D toyota has a history of inline 6 mazda doesnt but then again who knows if it'll be a inline 6 might be a V6 just like the new yaris is the mazda 2 shared chassis toyoa already has number of turbo engines now so it might be used in the IS 1.6t 2.0t 2.4t 3.5t  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlantis Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 I'd prefer Mazda has no input on the engine, and we pass it on to Yamaha like the JZ engines were 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
