just went to lexus Penang last saturday. Met the salesperson. He told me the same thing. The 3rd generation lexus IS is not going for a new redesign until 2013. He told me to go for CT instead of waiting for the IS. Went for the test drive. Its "OK" but i still prefer the IS though. Furthermore the gov is now giving tax exemption for hybrid cars below 2000cc. He said it was a good buy. What do u guys think?
