5 Other Lexus Condiment Themed Editions
The Sriracha IS300 was the surprise hit of the L.A. Autoshow, so we had a brainstorming session to come up with some other popular condiments that could use a co-branded Lexus model.
1. 2018 Lexus LC500 Wasabi Edition
There is no doubt that the hottest car to come out of Lexus since the LFA is the new LC500. Slather on some metallic green paint, add some spicy tuna roll wheels for extra added color and you get the new LC500 wasabi edition. This is sure to spice up your daily commute.
2. 2017 Lexus ES350 Miracle Whip Edition
America loves the simple, reliable luxury of the mid-size Lexus ES350, and America loves the taste of Miracle Whip, so this collaboration makes perfect sense. The fact that Miracle Whip also uses the red, white and blue of the American flag as their signature colors is just an added bonus for this luxury sedan that is a favorite of middle america. The seats are as soft as if they were made of white bread, and in this special edition they are a creamy leather with light brown crust!
3. 2017 Lexus GX460 Bullseye BBQ Sauce Edition
With Toyota/Lexus based in Texas now, it was only a matter of time before they started to be influenced by their new surroundings. Body on frame SUVs are beloved by folks who have to tow, and go offroad, but that doesn't mean they don't want a heaping does of luxury! This GX460 comes with special paint, called Bullseye BBQ Burgandy metallic, a low luster dark brown leather interior, referred to as Char Broiled, and red accents that match the label, but unfortunately a pending lawsuit with Lamborgini prevents them from adding any snorting bull graphical accents. The horns on the hood in the show car were done for a laugh, but have prove so popular they are now a factory option.
4. 2018 Lexus CT200H Kikkoman Lower Sodium Soy Sauce Edition
Kikkoman is the number one selling soy sauce world wide, and America loves it too. The Lexus CT200H Kikkoman Edition (low sodium version shown) is meant to appeal to buyer who are looking for just an extra dash of flavor in their driving. Available in flat black with a gloss stripe, or gloss with a flat black stripe, it consists of a body kit, orange or green accent on the splitter, and a cargo compartment full of little to-go packets of soy sauce. Lexus market research indicates the CT200H buyer is most likely to stop for take out on the way home from work, because they are young and active.
5. 2017 Lexus RX350 Nutella Edition
Research indicates that the RX350 is the Lexus most often driven by owners with kids who are trying to balance work and family life. The Nutella Edition helps out these busy soccer moms and hockey dads, with a specially customized interior to make their lives easier. Above the standard dashboard is a large handy wipe dispenser, and the center console is specially sized for snacks, and topped with a butcher block cutting board. The most difficult part to integrate was the wide mouth toaster below the infotainment system, for toasting bread. Now you can feed the kids on the way from school to extra-curricular activities without having to stop for drive thru. The exterior is a rich brown metallic made to mimic the sweet chocolate hazelnut spread as well, and the interior leather is Scotch Guarded.
