IS300 gets uglier for 2002 ..(pics)

i am staying home tonight, cause my dad is leaving tomorrow, so i am chilling with him..kind of..

anyways, look at the 2002 IS 300 on carpoint

quote:
"Arriving later this year will be the first Lexus station wagon, sort of. The IS 300 SportCross is based on the IS 300 sedan and uses the sedan's 215-horsepower 3.0-litre inline 6-cylinder engine. But this station wagon is more 'sport wagon.' It has its very own roof, rear quarter panels, doors and rear side windows, all wrapped into a very sleek package. In Lexus' words, the SportCross will "blur the lines" between sedan and traditional wagon body styles and be available only with a five-speed automatic transmission. Meanwhile, Lexus will begin offering a five-speed manual in the IS 300 sedan in late summer. Manual transmission models also will come with different wheels and slightly firmer suspension tuning. " ...carpoint

Well, it's not like it's the one and only 2002 IS300. It's only an addition to the rest of the IS300 line, for those that need the utility of a wagon. Yeah, people who actually have an active life away from their car actually do exist.

Look at it this way: Lexus cares enough about us to keep supporting us with stuff that we want, with a 5-speed manual available this August, 18" wheels, a choice of seating surfaces (cloth vs. leather/Ecsaine vs. full leather), L-tuned full factory-warrantied mods, TRD limited-warrantied mods, and an upcoming (don't know if it's going to be L-tuned/TRD/Kazama) supercharger.

Stop smokin the whacky weed!

They didnt make a 2-door one. And that wagon is ugly as shit.

If they ever do really make a 2 door you can get your ass I'll pick one up... the photoshopped 2 door looked phat.

Looks like an Outback Sport.
Not bad though. Could be a good family wagon. Something other than BMW.

Like I told gavril once, there will be no 2JZ-GE (I6) in the current (convertible) SC platform. However, a 2JZ-GE or even the 2JZ-GTE (you can guess at the "T") in a coupe variation of the IS300 platform (actually, better known as the Progres platform) is likely, and will be called the SC300.

Oh yeah, this one's a "told'ya so."

(Oops. It's actually a "told'em so.)

Actually, an identicle IS300 was at the NY Auto Show. I was at the show yesterday (Friday) and took a look at it. As far as wagons, well I'm not a fan. But the IS300 wagon (what do they actually call it? Sports something?) wasn't a bad looking car, for a wagon. Looks better in person than in that pic.

By the way, anyone ever see an Audi A4 wagon (I forget what they call theirs too....maybe Avant?) that has been out for a while now? To my eyes, it's the best looking wagon I've ever seen. If I definitely HAD to buy a wagon, that's the one I would get, based on looks alone.......

I still think IS300s look good. I wouldnt buy the wagon one, but the regular one still looks good to me.

Wait til you see the RS4 - wagon version of the S4. I think I will trick my wife into one of those. "Oh, honey, its a nice new wagon." But then she'd be able to kick my ass.

I stopped taking pics at the Auto Show about 10 years ago....... Too many inconsiderate fukkers always walking right in front of you when you're trying to take pics.

Wanna see the cars at the Auto Show? Buy a $9 ticket and see them for yourself.
