For me the main question is if Lexus is planning another IS and RC. These models are just too successful to be dropped off so.

"Too successful".

The only reason 3.3IS is considered successful is because they barely invested any money into it. It is a 14 year old design that have all R&D paid for years ago. If it were a true 4th Gen these sales figures would be considered a flop.

It's also possible a well executed new Gen will be greatly welcomed and yield better numbers than the old 3.3 gen

Is this a personal opinion or is it an official evaluation?

I think the RC and LC are expected to gain a combined successor based on the Mark 6 GR Supra, which imo is a smart move.

This is what "too successful" looks like. That's more M3 sold in a year than the whole IS lineup.

Ideally lexus would base the combustion model on the MK6 Supra as a performance sedan. The base powertrain should be hybrid but I want 6cyl atleast to follow for an isf

ISF? What's that? You mean IS Morizo RR?

tbh had the name morizo rr not been used on the yaris I wouldn't mind it on the Lexus. The name morizo sounds pretty good and given the joke that F has been off late, it could use a full reset.

Well it was already used on the Lexus LBX
