One vehicle that we've keeping our eye on is the all-new Lexus IS. When it made its debut, I was revolted by its all-new look. However, after Agent 001 spied an all-new 2014 IS and snapped shots of it on the street I started to appreciate it.

The 2014 Lexus IS begins the third generation of the sports sedan that debuted in 2000. At launch, the IS 350 will be the hottest version available. This trim -- with the 3.5-liter V6 making 306 hp and 277 lb-ft of torque -- will cost $40,360 when it goes on sale this summer. That's less than the four-door versions of both the BMW 335i and Mercedes-Benz C350, its main rivals, according to company brass. The 204-hp IS 250 starts at $36,845.
