It has been officially confirmed that the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit will play host to the unveiling of the all-new Lexus IS next month.
For the moment Lexus is keeping all the details firmly under wraps; however, we can tell you that the new model has been completely redesigned, both inside and out. We've also been told that inspiration for the new model came from the striking and aggressive-looking LF-CC concept; and that styling cues from the LFA supercar have been used in its design too.
Petrol and diesel power are likely to feature in the line-up, along with a new hybrid model called the IS 300h.
The unveiling will take place on Tuesday 15th January on the Lexus stand in Detroit. Viewers can watch the event live on
