That render is ridiculous. There's no way they'd ship a Lexus with no spindle.
MAG-X Render for the TX:
“My guess is you’ll see a lot of hybrid, in the connection with [F] before you get to full electric,” the Lexus boss said. “If you’ve ever driven a Tesla or a [Porsche] Taycan, the acceleration blows your lid. So do you take electrification and make it not just about the environment, but performance too?”
“We have a four-year life cycle [on the IS 500], and then beyond that there are some other powertrains. My friends are calling me and asking ‘Are you building another one?’. I highly doubt it. I would go get one and put it in your garage.”
I read that As the last NA V8 in their line up or last V8 in a car the size of the IS.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.www.motor1.com
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!I read that As the last NA V8 in their line up or last V8 in a car the size of the IS.

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:
New Toyota MR2 2022: Toyota's 300kW Performance Hero Reborn
Toyota's performance revolution is set to continue, with reports the brand will revive the iconic MR2 nameplate to take on, well, everyone really - from the incoming Subaru WRX STi to the Nissan Z and everyone in-between.The rumours, published by Japanesewww.carsguide.com.au395-HP Toyota MR2 Rumor About Coming Back Sounds Too Good To Be True
A rumor from the Japanese site Spyder7 claims that Toyota is preparing to revive the MR2. It might partner with Porsche or Lotuswww.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.
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.We're still a bit off the mark as to its full electric transition, surely something will come up that'll satisfy the purists one way or another in that time.
Hmm, considering GR Corolla is on it's way, I quite doubt that notion. Anything's possible.That might mean either the supra or the 86 may bow out.
