Looks like updated infotainment but the same stupid trackpad
Thought this was going to be all new but this... looks the same as before

Current rear looks better imo

twitchyzero 06-15-2020 11:26 AM

dislike the current rear
they tried to make the skirt line flow to the back but it just makes the light look droopy
another 'safe' design so basically still too similar to the 2006, i guess dont fix what aint broken?

lexus IS gonna be the next 4 runner

JDMDreams 06-15-2020 11:37 AM

I wonder why they are riding this platform for so long, it's so dated compared to how many gens the competition has gone through

twitchyzero 06-15-2020 11:47 AM

outside of corolla/prius they're slowly giving up on cars
subaru/bmw for sports cars, mazda for saloons
the sales have been slumping and they're still rehashing
most of the focus is where the money is at...crossovers they just redesigned like 3 in the last year

JDMDreams 06-15-2020 11:50 AM

If they are able to throw in phev tech into this it will sell like hot cakes

!Aznboi128 06-15-2020 02:11 PM

^ that might work.

The IS is for sale in other countries as a hybrid already. They would need more room to make it a PHEV

vitaminG 06-15-2020 02:39 PM

Wonder what it will get for engine. Can't be same n/a v6 as first is350

2.0t has been around for awhile. Not really enough power for the car imo.

a00755836 06-15-2020 07:18 PM

same v6 practically. very disappointing.

EvoFire 06-15-2020 08:21 PM

I wondering what kind of plans they have for the twin turbo V6 they have in the LS. Does it not fit in this car? Seems like a waste to spend all the money developing a state of the art V6 and not use it anywhere else.

Honestly I'm just glad they're still offering sedans. The GS is gone and I won't be surprised if the ES and LS disappear in the coming years as well. These stupid SUV's are making sedans slowly disappear.

Yea, I hear the CX-3 is outselling the Mazda 3 on which it is based on. Pretty soon we'll just have a sea of CUVs and SUV's all over north america.
