I'm hoping FR-S. But, chances are it will be the Prius V or something.

Hmm...400hp Prius - maybe it's time that car comes on my radar :rofl:

Is it confirmed to be a Toyota, or will it badged under the Lexus name?  The RX450h could use it.  Honestly, it looks mightily like the Avalon *yawns, shows disinterest, and cries a little*.  Hmm...salivating at the thought of a 400hp hybrid Rav4 though.  I wonder if it'll have electric motors driving the rear wheels for an AWD variant (RLX competition)?  Yeah, it'll be the Avalon  :'(

No chance it'll fit in the FR-S, sorry buds.

We can all dream. Avalon would be a likely base. It is big enough to hold all the gear. Nothing mentioned about it being badged as a Lexus and it likely wouldn't be as it's being revealed in Frankfurt.

Would be a pretty sweet Lexus IS.
