2009 Lexus IS

Lexus revealed first images and details of the facelift 2009 IS (European model shown) that will make its official debut at the Paris Auto Show.

Refreshed interior and exterior styling represents a further evolution of what Lexus calls its "L-finesse" design philosophy. Lexus said it worked on the suspension, steering, transmissions and paddle shift technology to make improvements to driving dynamics. Aerodynamics and transmission enhancements have reduced the IS 220d’s CO2 emissions by 3%, and by 8% for the Sport version. Lexus ride is also safer now that it has made the electronic stability control known as Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM) standard on all IS models
