Special Edition Is200

[Mr-Lex]

Most of you's may have seen it or heard about it but click here for a little preview from the autotratder.

Personally don't know what to think of it yet ;) but anyway enjoy...

Well you wouldn't lose it in a car park

But steer clear of bowls of custard (showing his age)

0-60 in 9.5 secs I thought they were quicker than that. You would have thought they could have tweeked it a little. Looks all show no go to me.

[andyhart21]

I like it......they must have restricted the engine a bit because it says 150 bhp and 134mph......I thought it was 153 and 141mph

[Mitch]

its different. i'd have to see in front of me to say whether i like it or not.

what kind of alloys are on it?? the styling kit 18's???????

[Matthew_McNally]

I'm with Mitch on this one - need to see it before making any judgement.

I wasn't too impressed with the SC430 from the photos - first time I saw one in the dealer, jaw dropped!

[DTH]

Amarillo....

Wasn't that a song by Tony Christie?

"Show me the way to Amarillo,

Every night I've been huggin my pillow,

Cryin' over Amarillo,

and sweet Marie who waits for me .... sha la la la la la la la"

[ifraz]

Hmmm..... I had heard about a limited edition 'Yellow' from Chris Shipley at the weekend. I don't usually like cars in yellow, but seeing an IS200 in one.....may persuade me to like it.

The jury is out on this....I'd also have to see it in the flesh before making up my mind :P

[jonthebarber]

if you buy a yellow car you can`t bleach your hair or wear a yellow shirt unless you want to look a git . :D

[ifraz]

Just thought....Yellow attracts flys in the summer. Nah....forget that :D

[Steve]

I think it does look nice if they had added a different body kit. Purely this colour will not be a popular colour and they could have compensated with something like this.

[Zee007]

Yep - I like it - shows individuality........

[madder69]

looks like a Vauxhall Astra to me tho...

bit of a cheap thing to do by just painting it yellow though, you'd think there would be more spec on a special edition... i could go respray mine pearlescent purple and call it a special edition car...

they could have whacked a set of banana alloys and done something with the engine though :(

As soon as ours arrives in the showroom I'll post some photo's

[UKPulse]

See how this compares with the special edition IS200 "Caliente" for the Australian market... again it seemed pretty much a parts bin special as it was exctly the same as the standard car under the hood <_<

Hang on... Lexus give the ozzies this red number, and they give us this banana-mobile. What are they trying to tell us??

[Mr-Lex]

I think I agree with most of you guy's...gotta to see it to judge on it. Maybe the car can grow on you after a while! Then again if someone told me green colour lexus I would have said but seeing it for real thought not bad! B)

[Steve]

definatly makes a difference

But lets face it.. the color must have been released due to popular demand... they must of had feedback from customers that it could be a feasable color.

I myself have seen the a demo and I was a little disapointed.

Tints

Body kit and nice wheels would look nice. Also would have added different seats inside.. but not black and yellow like speedboat seats :D

[djanderso]

Oh dear!

Lexus have commited the ultimate prestige car sin - launching a special edition. THese are normally reserved for slow selling or end of life models.

What are Lexus thinking of?

[jonthebarber]

maybe it is coming to the end of its life ................................. :(

[Steve]

Some nice colors for you to consider.

[Mitch]

hey i kind of like that light blue colour steve did.

p.s what program do you use to modify pics like that. i see them do it on cars in max power, put different kits and wheels etc on cars, virtual max or something. would love to have a program to do that.

back to the topic yeah i agree that the special edition should have had a few mods in the engine compartment and maybe different seats, maybe a full leather interior??

would of been better i thinks

[Steve]

photoshop mitch

but you need to get a bit of practice first mate

[Mitch]

can you buy the program from the shops

and what you trying to say about practice

[Steve]

yes you can buy it in shops...

£500

and its not as easy as say paint shop pro or other crappy programs... its professional software.

so you will need to play with it for a while to get used to the tools etc. I have loadsa books on it too... cool kit!

[Parthiban]

i agree with whoever said earlier

i like the yellow but never been a fan of the sport styling kit

still doesnt look good
