Lexus has filed a trademark for IS500 with the USPTO. It's possible it could be a new performance sedan!

This is the V8 Lexus IS that is coming soon. Very cool to see Toyota actually bringing this to market in 2020. There were unconfirmed reports last month that this was coming...appears the leaks were true.

Now Toyota needs to find a way to fit this into the Supra...

Awesome!
I love seeing Toyota/Lexus not giving completely in to the SUV craze that everyone else is, like Ford and Mitsubishi.
Love that they are keeping the car and sports car world turning by continuously putting out great cars like this.

There are definitely enthusiasts who work at Toyota. I'm glad that in recent years the enthusiasts have been able to create more products for us, such as the 86 and Supra, and I know they're hard at work on the new 86.

It really is great to see Lexus get in on the fun as well. They need a little shot in the arm just like Toyota.

I think its going to be turbo V6 found under the hood of the new LS. If it was the NA V8 why didn't Toyota do it from the start?

That does seem like the more probable answer, but I can also see Lexus bucking the trend and going with a V8.
