2002 Model IS200

[weltmeister]

Hi guys,

I have realised in Germany the new model of the IS200 face lift, does not make the distinction between the "normal" version and the sporty version. However the alloys remained but the interior changed...no more metal interior and wodden inlays on the doors, which makes the car looked like grandpa's!!!!

Is that the same in the rest of Europe ??? Besides the nice sound system is not available anymore in the Is200, you got the normal 4 speakers instead of the Superlive Sound system in my is 200 sport. Are they cutting costs ??? Only the IS 300 in Germany has the full option and goodies which we have in our older models...what a pitty !!!!!

Hi Weltmeister, in the UK they have dropped the IS200S from the range, we get the IS200-200SE and 200Sport. The differences are still the same as before, only 16" alloys on 200, electric seats and sunroof ,half leather trim +17" alloys on 200SE. 200Sport has all these plus LSD, metal pedals, scuff plates and darkened rear windows. The sound system is 6speakers on all models. Have a look at the Lexus UK website for full spec.:tumble:
