In the US, for IS300's, there is a code that is generally B02A, B02B, B02C - right beside where it says A/TM...

If the car has an A for the 4th digit, it does not have LSD, if it has B or C, then it does have LSD...

I don't know if this works for IS200's or not, though, IIRC, most, if not all of the SportCrosses have LSD, though I could be completely wrong...

One last thing - the general method of jacking up both rears and if they spin the same way when you turn one and it has LSD, is not valid on our cars - Toyota OEM LSD's are Torsen type and still spin opposite direction - they only work when there is a load on them... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torsen
