Sports cars are a niche market ... you can't please everyone. The IS will be available w/ 3 different engines and model configurations like the BMW 3 series. IS250, 300, 350, coupe, convertible, and sedan. The 2.5L V6 (4GR-FE) puts out almost as much horsepower as the 2JZ-GE in the current IS300.

Toyota isn't interested in bringing back turbocharged vehicles (from the factory) to compete in the $30k range. Can we say performance hybrid?
