UR. Toyota/Lexus will be phasing out the UZ series.

Toyota needs to give up on the NA... If they have another supra in the mix then fine, keep them all NA. But maybe a 2JZ TT in the IS500....That would make people cry, then again, its a lexus. Does anyone think the Supra will show up again. Because the SKYLINE is due out in 2008.

Engine compartment must be larger than 1st gen IS. UR is significantly larger than UZ (larger displacement, bore spacing).
