Lexus To Have Three Worldwide Debuts at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit

Torrance, CA - After launching two new products in 2000, Lexus will continue that trend for 2001 with three worldwide production debuts at January's North American International Auto Show in Detroit.

The production model of the all-new 2002 SC 430 hardtop convertible, which goes on sale in March, will be shown. SC 430 pricing will be revealed as well.

The luxury manufacturer also will debut two variations of its popular IS 300 compact sport sedan, including a five-speed manual transmission model and an all-new SportCross model. The 2002 IS 300 SportCross has the same sporty performance as the sedan, and features an exciting design with a fifth door for increased versatility and utility.

All announcements will be made at Lexus' press conference on Tuesday, Jan. 9, 2001, at 2:30 p.m. in the Lexus display. On Monday, Jan. 8 and Tuesday, Jan. 9, media members also are invited to stop by the Lexus space to visit the Lexus Luxury Lounge for refreshments

and relaxing neck and shoulder massages from professional massage therapists.
