Lexus will be celebrating it's 25th Anniversary in 2104. Would you like to see a 25th Anniversary Edition Lexus IS with special features or something else like the Sport Design package offered in the 1st Gen IS (2003-04)?

I think it'd be a pretty cool way to celebrate Lexus' rise this past quarter century. I can only imagine what special features might be created for this special edition. Some special editions that come to mind are the Coach edition for the ES and RX and Pebble Beach edition SC. I've seen some of the special edition interiors from Lexus Japan, and I think they'd really sell well as a special limited edition for the IS.

I took that survey from the Lexus Advisory Board e-mail I got and it was asking my opinion about an anniversary edition of a Lexus model. I think it would be cool too, especially for the good old LS lineup. IS and RX would be great as well.

I got the Lexus survey about this as well. I would only want to see it if it were done in a classy way, like with unique (but not garish) paint and interior trim colors and maybe unique rims. Also, no tacky exterior badging!

Anniversary cars suck. They're instantly dated.

I could definitely see a anniversary edition of the LS, and even the ES and RX due to the weight they carry in overall sales. I don't see one for the other models including the IS.

I received a survey and answered it similarly. No rhyme or reason to my thoughts other than I think it would be appropriate for those models and would help with sales etc.

I think an anniversary edition would be ok. Not too crazy about it though.

How do you guys get on this Lexus survey list?

Not sure why I was chosen for the surveys, I just received an email invitation from Lexus.

Wish I could say I was celebrating my 25th anniversary(birthday) Hit that milestone far too long ago.
