I agree. I'm not a fan of this thing. It reminds me of a toy car or something.

... Japanese trying to come up with a German like "S" or "M-Sport" or "AMG Package" and failing lol. Sometime they think so backwards and they really, really are trying hard not to. Let's give them a round of applause for trying tho.

In no way is the Crafted Line intended to take on M Sport, AMG, etc. it's just a limited edition appearance package.

Yeah I think the F Sport is what competes with the S-Line and M Sport.

Lexus has been hit-and-miss with its "special editions". They should stick to the basics.

The '03 Sportdesign was a nice car, with dark silver grill, badging and wheels and saddle interior.




The Neiman Marcus edition SC430 was pretty garish.

Agree. A little too much German Kool-Aid in that post.

Ah, yes!

I'm a large fan of the Platinum Series LS, GS, and ES from 2000.

Dualpipe, although I am not too much of a fan, this is not a bad look. Why not black out the shark fin antenna as well?

Not a fan of this look at all. It used to be very common for base models to have generic black side mirrors, bumpers as a cost saver. No matter what color the car was it had black bumpers. Probably an age thing comes in to play here, if your under 30 you've never seen it. Kinda like dodo birds and hand crank windows.
