The next generation of Infiniti's G series sedan won’t be the only new Japanese premium sedan to make its world premiere at the 2013 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS for short) in Detroit next month, as it will be joined by the all-new 2014 Lexus IS.
As you may have expected, Lexus isn't ready to share pictures and details about the new IS just yet, but it did have this to say about its BMW 3-Series rival:
"Inspired by the acclaimed LF-CC concept and with design cues of the LFA, the new IS has been completely redesigned, inside and out."
Our spy pictures confirm Lexus' claims that the new IS will indeed be closely styled after the LF-CC coupe that was originally displayed at the Paris Motor Show in September before it made its way to North America and the ongoing Los Angeles Auto Show.
As for the LF-CC, from what we've heard, it will form the base for a new IS Coupe model that will follow in the very near future.

Why is the author proving to be incompetent about the auto industry? The LF-CC Concept was designed this year, the 2014 Lexus IS was NOT, but instead in 2010-early 2011. How can it be inspired by the LF-CC if it's design is older? It's clearly vice-versa.
Lexus seems to think that the new IS takes its design ques from the LF-CC... they also seem to agree with this article as they link to it on their Facebook page. Also, your feigned outrage is hillarious.
I love the current design of the IS. I hope they don't kill it with this redesign.
wheels look too small for the body
Since we're asking questions, why can't you read? The author is QUOTING Lexus. Lexus said the '14 IS was inspired by the LF-CC. I guess you know more than Lexus about their own cars.
