Lexus IS facelift brochure leaked

According to the forum post, modifications will consist of revisions to the side mirrors and front grille, new 17 and 18in alloys, new exterior colors, and a new Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM) stability control system. Additional changes can also be seen on the headlights and tail-lights.

Aside from the sedan model, Lexus also have plans to launch Coupe and Convertible variants of the IS, it is expected they will debut sometime next year before their release as 2010 models.

I still don't like it...at all. It's surprising, really, how much I dislike Lexus's design language. The taillights lost the ugly amber, but gained a horribly-incorporated clear section. Can't judge much more, but damn, I don't think official pics or seeing this in the flesh will do it much good anyways.

Oh and while the interior might be made of fine materials, the design is still utter crap.
