That render is ridiculous. There's no way they'd ship a Lexus with no spindle.

Hideous.
Nah. Such lazy job by Mag-X as we can clearly tell it is a photoshopped highlander.
Ofc anything could happen if it turns out to be anything like the render...it's DOA.

Honestly it maybe the same mistake as the Grand Highlander and Sequoia
Why no one thought that this mag-x render is the TX brother aka Grand Highlander in which the TX shares a lot of parts except the front as every new Lexus / Toyota product, they nearly looks identical in the first generation and started to shift away by generation and / or facelift

Future Lexus F Models Might Go Hybrid Before All-Electric
Love the 5.0-liter V8 in the Lexus RC F and IS 500? Act fast, because the future of the Japanese high-performance line could be in hybrids.

This pretty much confirms the IS will go until 2024-2025 the latest if it has a 4-year life cycle. But a little confused by the last bit about "are you building another one.. highly doubt it" if previously hinting at other ICE F models. Maybe I'm interpreting it wrong ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Logic, unfortunately, the first is the C Class with full i3/i4 lineup!
V8 is done, unless they are handbuilding these engines out of some shed at the TTC in Shimoyama for a halo car poised to launch in MY2025 or CY25. The price point an F version model of their existing lineup to include a V8 (whether NA, FI, or P/HEV is just not fathomable.)

Found a article on the next LS. GECKO . Was right we are Looking at 2024 so next year.

Next-gen Lexus LS with EV variant could arrive before the LX EV
The next-gen Lexus LS will likely be available as an Electric model or have an EV alternative. Lexus' Mercedes EQS rival may arrive years before an LX EV.

Hi all, I've been reading the forum for a year or so now, but this is my first post here.
I've seen plenty of rumors about a new MR2 with a 2.8-3.0 TT V6, like these:
www.carsguide.com.au
www.motor1.com
What are the chances of us seeing a 2.8-3.0 TT V6 based on the V35A? With the exception of the 1GZ and 1LR, I can't think of any other Toyota/Lexus engine family that has only had one variant, and it seems likely that we will see another V6.
Aside from the MR2, other applications for a 2.8-3.0TT V6 could include the next IS, TX, GX, Grand Highlander, 4Runner, Prado, and Tacoma. I suspect the T24A will make a strong appearance in these vehicles, but I think there is room in the lineup for a TT V6, especially considering the Bronco has the 2.7 TT V6.
Just my $.02.

Funny Toyota has millions to burn when it comes to creating small, irrelevant sports cars (producing duds like the GR Supra & 86) while the majority of Lexus vehicles continue to languish In mediocrity.
Seems like the MR2 appeared out of nowhere after an interview with a Toyota exec. Renders suddenly appeared afterwards.Hi all, I've been reading the forum for a year or so now, but this is my first post here.

That might mean either the supra or the 86 may bow out.

Hmm, considering GR Corolla is on it's way, I quite doubt that notion. Anything's possible.
