If they stick the BMW I6 in the Lexus IS then they might as well give us a RWD 6 speed manual version. Take your wins where you can.
Makes me queasy. The feeling I get when someone puts a SBC in a Ford. It's just not right

What...What? All this time I've been thinking the Supra was going to be available with a stick and it isn't. Ok, no longer interested.

Strange decision indeed. I hope it's just a rumour.P.s. I think the new LS has a V6 turbo, so why not de-tune that for the IS?Should have read the article. It says that the IS F will use the TTV6 from the new LS.
