This Hot Selling Vehicle from Lexus is given a Special Edition to entice more
buyers.

Early January this year Lexus sprung a pleasant surprise on its followers by
announcing and unveiling a Special Edition of the 2005 Lexus RX 330. They did this last
January 9, 2005 at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Michigan. Lexus
is calling this special edition of the Lexus RX 330 the “Thundercloud”
Edition.

Here only in its second season, it reinstates its foothold as the best selling luxury
SUV from last year. The Lexus RX 330 was redesigned and introduced as an all-new model
for 2004. Sleeker, more stylish and more powerful than the best-selling model it
replaced, the RX 330 glides into its second season with added luxury.

Lexus just won’t rest on its laurels, even with the league leading sales of the
Lexus RX 330, the 2005 special edition is expected to add new depth and dimension to the
lineup and with the supplements of several enhancements designed to give future clients a
very desirable new choice.

When it was launched last year, the Lexus RX set a higher bar of standard for the
modern luxury utility vehicle. The innovative RX 300 pioneered the crossover style of SUV
based on a uni-body car platform rather than a heavy-duty truck frame. Crossovers provide
improved ride and handling. They offer more cargo room than a car. They also give the
driver a better view over the traffic and a sense of security from an elevated driving
position. Overall, it’s a car that mutated to a truck.

The original did all of those things, but this new, second-generation RX does them
much better. Swift and silent, it rides more quietly than most cars, not to mention other
SUVs. It glides over bumpy roads and its airy cabin is luxurious and captivating. While
crossover vehicles offer neither the big towing capacity nor the off-road capability of a
true truck, the RX 330 handles gravel roads just fine and can tow up to 3500 pounds with
the optional trailer package.

Every one of the 2005 Thundercloud Edition RX 330s are obtainable with the
performance, luxury and convenience features found in the standard RX 330, including the
Adaptive Front lighting System (AFS), Mark Levinson audio, rear seat DVD entertainment
system and more.

Two new colors are also available for the 2005 RX 330 but only for the special
edition. The Thundercloud Metallic is a rich gray metallic color and is matched with
light gray interior with leather-trimmed seats and black bird’s eye maple wood
trim. Flint mica is another alternative color available that’s exclusive for the
special edition. The grille lends an elegant look with chrome horizontal bars that convey
its connection to other Lexus models. "Thundercloud" badges on the front doors and floor
mats identify this special edition. New five-spoke aluminum alloy wheels with contrasting
rings complete the package with fresh details.

The list of standard luxuries is long, and includes automatic climate control, premium
audio, cruise control, traction and stability control, privacy glass, automatic
headlamps, fabric upholstery, and 17-inch aluminum wheels. The list has been lengthened
for 2005 with eight-way power for the front passenger seat, ten-way power for the driver
seat, wood and leather trim for the steering wheel and shift knob, AM/FM/CD stereo, and a
power rear liftgate, which was previously optional, that's easier to use than before.

Vehicles will be available with Lexus dealers by late January 2005, with a planned
quantity of 6,500 units. The special edition price will start at $300 above the base MSRP
of $35,775 for the two-wheel drive model, and $37,175 for the all-wheel drive model. This
is an investment that is worth every cent.

Accessories and new parts do make the difference. Slap on a few luxuries and your car,
truck or SUV will transform to the vehicle of your dreams. Many special edition vehicles
are called so because of the features that is not offered with the standard base models.
But you too can avail of these Toyota parts and accessories to jazz up your Toyota
vehicle. You too may have a special one of a kind car that has been specially designed by
the person you trust best, yourself.
