Default Rarest GS from factory?

What's the rarest combination GS300/400 produced?

Was there ever a graphite gray exterior from the factory?

I'm considering buying 1 later on this year and really want black interior but the only ones I've seen so far are either black or silver exterior

Thanks in advance.

If you search you'll find the answer.

White on black is very rear as well as the saddleback interiors.


keyword search "unicorn"

also please rephrase your question. you looking for graphite gray exterior or interior?

what exactly are you looking for (exterior and interior)

I searched under rare, rarest and not much results of what I was looking for, I'll try unicorn

I'm looking for black interior, exterior would like graphite gray but silver or black are the ones I see the most and 1 or 2 white's .. I see the "rare" optioned ones being the L tuned and the sport one

sounds like your looking for a Graphite gray pearl Sport Design with black interior?

this is mine

i would say the rarest are definetly the white on black and saddle interior cars..

Graphite gray is somewhat rare, but they definetly pop up more then the other two..

My last car was super rare, Royal Sapphire pearl 97 SC300 with black interior, probably less then 15 made that had black interior in that color and only about 56 made period

That's a nice combination ..
White and black are nice as well and easier to clean

I've only seen one black/saddle car in person. Very few online. I love that combo for some reason.

I was in the same boat as you, though. I had to have the black interior. I felt like the other colored interiors looked so dated but the black feels more modern. After poking around a little I found that the Sport Design models had black interiors so I ended up with a black/black '03 SD. I've ridden in a Graphite Grey '02 SD that had the black interior. That's probably what you want. JeffTsai has one.

How rare are pushbutton shifters on the steering wheel? I know they were on the 99 gs400 and not offered after some point due to epa gas mileage issues.

*shrug* I thought they all had 'em. I've got them on my '03 GS3 Sport Design.
