difference in grills on the 03 CLS

In the Road and Track magazine with the RX-8 on the front they have an advertisement for the 6-speed CL-S with a nice set of grills. After browsing some of the 2nd gen gallery I don't see the same grills. Anybody have an answer to this? Is that car from a different market?

I have that issue and just looked.
It’s just a 2003 BLACK CL-S with the new body colored grill surround.

Nothing special there.

The 03 has a body color grill. The 01 and the 02 have chrome grills. The 03 also has black headlights instead of chrome. The tail lights are like the TL now. Half white and half red. No need to panic!! LOL

Ok...I'll go through the gallery some more. The only 03 Pics I saw was a nice ABP and Silver one and they still looked the same as the 01-02 but I'll look closer. I really like that black one cause it shows an aggressive look and not the luxury look. Its good to have a little of both.
