Have you guys checked out the new special edition for the IS300?

hey that's pretty nice, i love the grill. but the wheel..... sigh..... why lexus start putting the 7 spokes on their cars...

 

Those wheels are disgusting.

 

exactly, lexus is having trouble designing wheels...

 

Did they just announce this model? I had no idea this was in the works. Is it only available with a manual transmission?

Also, the light coming out of those headlights in the pics is so blue that the pic is either photoshopped or taken just as the lights were ignited. They look like somebody dropped a 7000K HID kit in there, and last I checked, the IS reflectors don't give off color flicker.

I like the new colors, though. Isn't Thundercloud the metallic gray on the Neiman Marcus SC430?

 

it says at the bottom of the interior/exterior page that it is an e-shift model shown with navigation...i would assume that means its available with both auto and manual

 

Hello everyone. The IS300 Sportdesign will be available this April for a limited time. It will feature 3 colors, Black Onyx, Crystal White, and new Thunder Gray. It will also have available 3 interiors: ivory, black and new gray. The Sportdesign will be exclusive to the manual and automatic sedans only, no sportcross. We are looking forward to receiving the IS Sportdesign and I am told Lexus will up the number of Thunder Gray/gray made available.

 

yes! the thunder grey / grey interior catches my eyes coz' it's special

what exactly is the color thunder grey though?

 

I'm not sure you would know this, (then again I am talking to a moderator) but there was a limited edition SC430 a couple Christmases ago available only through the Neiman Marcus catalog. It was called "Silver Bell" and it had a reddish, but not quite saddle interior. There was only 100 available for sale through a phone order, which sold out immediately. An awesome color combination, if you ask me, but anyways, I was told that the "Thunder Gray" is very close to that color. Lighter in shade like Millenium Silver, but different. I can't wait to see it in person either. Especially with the new gray interior.

 

definitely not my style

 

i agree the wheels are foogly but i'd jump on a set of black chrome headlights and fogs.. thats hott.

 

 

those are black chrome headlightz n fogs??

 

lights are nice.. thats about it....

 

now who said it's going to be black chrome headlight and fogs? i dont' see it anywhere
