Default Difference between Platinum Series and Standard 2000 GS300?

What is the difference between the Platinum Series and Standard 2000 GS300? I few things I know of are that the Platinum Series comes with a wooden shift ****, Platinum Series logo mats, 16" aluminum rims and a Platinum Series tag on the side of the car. Want to know if there are any other differences that I may be missing. Appreciate any information....

I had a '00 Platinum before I moved to CA, black on black and its pretty much what you said but also add the desirable black pearl emblems. The only other model with the black emblems is the SportDesign. I believe HID and navigation were still options because mine did not come with either. Black on Black on Black is a pretty rare find. The Platinum Series looks more luxurious than sporty IMO with those wheels!

It is just a marketing adjustment for people to pay $3000 over the regular model for something you could get for $500 on your own.
