Lexus Introduces Two Special Edition Models
April 5, 2002

This spring, Lexus will offer new limited-production RX 300 and GS 300 models elevating the luxury and exclusivity of those already well-appointed vehicles.
The premium leather products company Coach has partnered with Lexus on several products since 1996, with the RX 300 being the latest Lexus to be receive the Coach treatment. This RX 300 features perforated leather-trimmed seats with Coach-embossed headrests. The Coach name also is carried on front door badging and floor mats. Other interior highlights include the use of Bird's Eye Maple wood trim on the console as well as the steering wheel and shift ****.

A honeycomb grille, monochromatic cladding, and 16-inch alloy wheels with a graphite-polished finish distinguish the exterior of the Coach Edition from the regular production RX 300. The RX 300 Coach edition comes in Burnished Gold, Crystal White, and an exclusive color for this edition, Graphite Gray. The Coach Edition content may be combined with one of two different existing value package factory options. The MSRP for a Coach Edition Package starts at $2830, with first vehicles due to arrive at dealerships in April. Coach Edition customers will receive a black Coach Hamptons Cabin Bag and a Coach Signature Demi-Pouch handbag worth $746 as a gift for their purchase.

The other Lexus special-edition model is the GS 300 SportDesign. This rear-drive sedan receives performance enhancements including a Euro-tuned sport suspension and upgraded 225/60R16 tires wrapped around polished alloy wheels. Inside, the exclusive SportDesign model incorporates perforated leather-trimmed seats in either charcoal or black with contrasting piping, a special black-stained burled walnut trim on the shift ****, doors, and center console, and a brushed-aluminum-type console panel. This GS 300 is further distinguished by SportDesign badging on the front fenders, center console, and scuff plates. A new exterior color, Graphite Gray Pearl, will be exclusive to the SportDesign, however the model also is available in Black Onyx and Millennium Silver.

Now on sale at Lexus dealerships across the country, only 3300 GS 300 SportDesign models will be produced. It is offered in two versions by combining the SportDesign content with the existing Premium Package factory option, or with the Navigation/Mark Levinson Package. Offered in conjunction with the existing Premium Package factory option, the SportDesign option carries an MSRP of $4050, only $310 above the price for the stand-alone Premium Package.
