2014 Lexus IS

Lexus IS (2014)

Guess most of you may not like about the styling of the new 2014 Lexus IS because some say, the design's getting a bit too odd and you prefer the previous one better but to me, it's not half bad to have a weird-looking IS ever...This car will be revealed at the 2013 NAIAS in Detroit and some say, it will still have the same 2.5L and 3.5L engine from the previous model. One thing we won't be getting in the States was an upcoming hybrid model, which some say it will be using the new hybrid engine derived from the 14th generation Toyota Crown.

(sigh)

Just heard some rumours that the new IS350 (300hp & 8speed a/t) will be launched soon for around 2.5M++

Got this video from Lexus Japan website...

Lexus has just launched the IS350 and IS350 F-Sport in Manila. The price is very competitive for a sporty and very refined sedan with 300+ hp.

It will give the Audi A4, BMW 3-series, and Merc C-Class quite a stiff competition.

Here's the finished video used in Japan to promote the new IS ...

priced competitively at 2.550!

nice car, should sell well in our market considering the a4, 3 series and c class are about 3.0 - 3.50 already

plus this is an all new model. well the 3 series was all new for 2012 and the c class wil have an all new model for 2014. i believe the a4 should have an all new model out for 2014 also.

The IS350 F Sport is comparable to the BMW 335i M-Sport already, in terms of specs. The price is way off. The IS350 F Sport is priced at 3.06M while the mid-spec BMW 328i is more than 4M already (what more for the 335i?).

Habemus Papem! 2013 BMW 335i M Sport vs. 2013 Cadillac ATS 3.6, 2014 Lexus IS350 F Sport ? Comparison Test ? Car and Driver

[speed_kills]

True and if I may add, I think the local spec 328 is even more comparable to the base IS350.

The base IS350 already comes pretty loaded already like 306hp V6, 8speed A/T from the IS-F, RWD, 7" info screen, leather + power/memory seats, 8-park sensors, etc.

So acquisition price we are talking about is 4.3M vs 2.5M.

So hopefully, BMW/Mercedes/Audi reconsider their pricing

TIngin ko wait and see muna ang BMW and Mercedes, kasi siyempre may 'brand' status na sila. Hindi siguro sila makikipag-price war sa Lexus dahil Lexus is trying to catch up. They're not the leader in this space. Some people still see the IS as an overpriced Camry.

Although a bit early to tell, seems like Lexus is fast catching up on BMW and already exceeds Mercedes based on recent sales figures... Philippine car sales figures for February 2013 - News

I agree that BMW/MB may still have a slight edge in terms of image as Lexus is relatively new here. But with the new GS and IS, Lexus obviously offers more luxury, more drivability, much better reliability, at a lower price point.

I hope Lexus continues this momentum and at the same time, pressure BMW/Mercedes enough to offer better value so consumers like us will have more options

Very mean looking IS. Much better looking than that of the IS F Sport imho.

Wala bang spare tire yung IS350 F? Sa Lexus website yung IS350 lang meron naka check sa spare tire.

ser baka ES ang sinasabi mo? kasi same sila basic platform, engine, and drivetrain which is FWD....pero IS is RearWHeel drive...eto latest version 8speed pa na wala ang Camry nyan.... nagmura kasi Japanese cars lately dahil bumaba na taxes/duty for over 3001cc vehicles dahil sa JPEPA....

[speed_kills]

Anyone know where to find nice cargo mats for the IS?

OT lang:
