The IS430 is one of the best lux, sports compact concepts around. Does anyone know if Toyota/Lexus will take Millen's car into production? 2004? 2005?

Rumors of the IS 430 had been around for many years. There were even spy photos of the IS430, built by Toyota / Lexus, but that is pretty much the end of the story.

My guess is that Toyota had Millen build the thing just so they could get people's impressions from it. So magazines could do a small feature on it and say how it would eat up M3's and stuff. What I'm saying is that they made it just so they can get feedback from the public.

SportCompactCar said the IS430 could eat up an M3, this is the type of stuff Toyota wants to hear.

visit www.lexusownersclub.co.uk and you will find info on the TTE IS430, it comes to our shows and stuff like that. its an awsome car, very deep and dark in plain black. altho its got an auto box on it. very nice. its gonna be at JAE this year. makes so many people turn their heads. i know i would buy one. Altho for the min im just gonna get the TTE supercharger kit for my IS200 6 speed manual.
TTE built this car about a year or so before rod millen, and has been testing ever since. but who knows what will happen!
