Where are all the new Special Edition Lexus?
Where are all the new Special Edition Lexus?
Other than the $120k+ Neiman Marcus LS600hL, and a very rare Pebble Beach SC430, there haven't been any recent Special Edition Lexus for '07/'08.
Even the ES and RX had special editions last year (Black Diamond and Thundercloud editions, respectively). The GS and IS definately would benefit from a special edition as they've been on the market for more than two years.
I would definately like to see more innovatively designed Lexus out on the road. Hell, even Scion has Special Edition variants...
Some ideas: an UltraLux IS350 with glass roof (just like the UltraLux ES) and 19" wheels (same size as IS-F), or a GS460 with Air Suspension and Advanced Parking Guidance (alla LS460).
We can always dream...

I think most of the special editions come at the very end of the model cycle, to boost sales.
Currently there is a 2007 LX 470 Limited Edition with special paint, etc. for the final production run of the 2 LX.

True, but there are exceptions. The Nieman Marcus 2-seat Thunderbird preceded the release of the general model by several months, and every couple of years Mazda seems to do a different Special Edition Miata model.

What specific color are you referring to? I can't tell from the posts, unless it is the Thundercloud or Black Diamond mentioned in the first post, and black and gray are both pretty popular nowadays.
