ldc Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 "I'm not buying it". The update version has to be more than just those differences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrrrry Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Actually, those updates are pretty plausible. If you at look at the 2009 refresh, the changes were probably even more subtle than this supposed 2011 refresh. Most people wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the 06-08 and 09-10 models besides the side mirrors and taillights i think. LMAO at how many tow hooks it has though. Like the LED lights and chrome on the speedo though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ldc Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 I'm just thinking about the upgrade to the 3 series, more distinction i would think, maybe they should do some..with the bonnet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronFist Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Steering wheel reminds me of my sisters Honda Accord Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankyX Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Yea I'm not having it, I don't think it's legit. They are minor changes easy enough for any modder to achieve. The steering wheel looks cheap and crappy. Not sure on the LED's; no need copy every other car maker. And... why would it be in China?

dis-lex-sic Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 There are 2 cars with those headlights featuring DRL in Australia ATM. They both have 350 badges on them. Its real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oliver Twizt Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 There are 2 cars with those headlights featuring DRL in Australia ATM. They both have 350 badges on them. Its real. Hmm.. Wonder if they use the same wiring harness and if they're an easy swap-over, or if it's more complex than that? B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luxist009 Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 'Leaked' brochures of said facelift: http://www.autospies.com/news/Leaked-2011-Lexus-IS-Facelift-55337/ Nothing that hasn't been revealed but I guess this makes it more or less official.

FrankyX Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Love the idea of the ISF seats for the F-Sport. That'd be a nice little touch. Still not convinced on the two tone steering wheel. The changes seem to be as minor as the 09 changes. Will have to see it in person before making judgement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howiefied Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Love the idea of the ISF seats for the F-Sport. That'd be a nice little touch. They had that in the 09' Aussie F-Sport as well.. the seats feel awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxist009 Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Now official: http://www.themotorreport.com.au/50498/2011-lexus-is-gets-modest-updates-revealed-in-leaked-brochure I like the aluminium highlights in the cabin, breaks up the plastic a bit. I hope these updates flow through to the IS C, as suggested by one of the pics. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emikelee Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 The all new LED running lights under the headlights (similar to the AUDI's) look sensational! I may even look at upgrading my IS250 Sports Luxury headlights to the new model when the new upgrade hits the market. Actually, those updates are pretty plausible. If you at look at the 2009 refresh, the changes were probably even more subtle than this supposed 2011 refresh.

Atlantis Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Mmm 0.5L/100km less than the current engine... nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dis-lex-sic Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 It will be as per the photos and details in the IS350 thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
