Thanks for the great replies!

As for Lexus IS300 badged Altezzas in Japan... Thats completely false. The 05 Altezzas are made to order only... There is no stock, so even the chance of seeing a truck full of altezzas is probably very unlikely. The only possible explanation would be that they were new IS 250s or something which will be badged as lexus here. But seems kind of early...

Not sure about the smoked headlights, these are stock and the autoleveling HIDs have been stock here since 2001 I think.

how much is an altezza in american money...not to ship one over here or anything...just to c how much the "lexus" name plays a role on the over 30k price tag here in the US....thanks
As for price ... I got a good deal from my friend and skipped the factory Navi (too expensive and no HDD)... Also i didint get Leather as the Leather comes with the Navi and bumps the price up about 5000. All together it came to about 2 850 000 yen out the door (27 000 USD maybe).... I was originally quoted at 3 150 000 (30 000 USD). But my friend knocked it down for me! So I think i got a good deal considering there is no excess stock of altezzas anywhere and they are only made per order. Also Toyota is known for not really budging on prices...

I posted pics of the girl (my wife)! didnt anyone notice?
I just assumed you guys looked at them and were being polite by not remarking (cause they arent the greatest pics and she would kill me if she knew i posted anything but perfect pics of her! but its all i could find on my laptop)

That is supurb.

Elsewhere in the world we've gotten the Lexus spinoff .

The IS300 = Altezza part2: The Sequel.

As it goes with the movies, there are very, VERY few sequels which are actually better than the original.

You have the REAL DEAL.

The Original.

Before every car in the U.S. could have them there was a time when ONLY ONE car actually had Altezza tail lamps.

That car is so nice.
