The rule is basically that the manufacturers have to have the parts available for 10 years. GM no longer makes any Oldsmobile parts since 2014 was 10 years of its death. At this point, a lot of the stuff now will become NOS parts scattered throughout the country, however not all manufacturers stick to this rule.
GM has had this happen before sadly. GM stopped producing seals for the 1991-1995 Olds Cutlass Supreme convertible in 2000 from what I'm told. They screwed everyone with one of those over because now you have to get the pieces custom made or make them yourself using other brands' seals.
IDK how G6 owners are gonna deal with this when the time for a new flywheel comes, hopefully someone else can reverse engineer them.
Aftermarket is a different beast. Aftermarket can start or stop whenever it chooses to. I foresee N body parts being plentiful for another 5 years, after which, they will become scarce. The swappable parts like the brake pads, discs, struts, etc should be readily available for at least 30 to 40 years but bigger stuff like body and engine parts may become scarce.

I actually like the body style on the first generation IS. That being said though, I don't think I could ever own a Lexus. They're just overpriced Toyota's and in fact that generation IS was sold in Japan as the Toyota Altezza. That and anything Lexus has put out recently with the exception of the LFA is just ugly to look at it imo. Especially for the price tag that comes with it. If you like it though man that's all that really matters. So enjoy!

I don't like the way the front end on the new IS-F looks at all. The previous generation IS-F wasn't a bad looking car, but the current one is just plain ugly imo. They could've done much better with it. Like I said though the only model Lexus has come out with recently that I like is the LFA and if I'm ever able to afford a car in the $300k+ price range, I would probably go with something else. Not a Lexus.
