The Lexus Range Re: Sports Design

[munch]

i upgraded from a 2003 chenille with basic options to a Sports Design 2005 auto with rear parking sensors.

I am so happy with the upgrade you wouldn't believe. Nicer seats, excellent auto, loving the lack of constant beep when in reverse and in traffic it really shines.

My question is was there a change in title for cars after a certain year or did the salesman lie to me?

I know i don't have a sports with the nice metal part on the door frame or metal pedals or rear tinted windows. The wheels are definitely larger and the suspension slightly lower and 10 spoke wheels.

cheers,

Rob

Wont be full leather, Will be half leather wont it? Wont neccessarily have sat nav either or did the 05 plate versions all come with it as standard.

[munch]

Towards the end of the IS200 production run, prior to the IS250 launch, the 'SE' IS200s were on a special offer, with full leather and sat nav as standard.

Sounds like the SE to me then fella

As far as I know, only the US had the designation "Sportdesign", and that was their version of the what we had that was called the "limited edition" in 2004.

Your 2005 car is clearly just an SE, but it's strange that it didn't follow the upgrades that the UK had - 2005 cars had full leather, boot spoiler and satnav as standard............
