Lexus has managed to keep this one quiet for a while, but it appears we are going to see the a facelift for it's IS sedan in the not too distant future after scans of the updated model's brochure appeared on forum site my.is.
According to the forum post, modifications will consist of revisions to the side mirrors and front grille, new 17 and 18in alloys, new exterior colors, and a new Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM) stability control system. Additional changes can also be seen on the headlights and tail-lights.
Aside from the sedan model, Lexus also have plans to launch Coupe and Convertible variants of the IS, it is expected they will debut sometime next year before their release as 2010 models.

I wouldn't have noticed if it came up to me and bit me in the bottom!
I should have become a car designer. They DON'T appear to do any work!
It is rumoured that the great Leonardo Fioravanti, who worked for Pininfarina during its glory days, designed the IS...
Not that Toyota has ever boasted about this... let's face it, I would be ashamed too if I had to admit (the biggest car company in the world) cannot design cars.
