Just to raise a few eyebrows, everyone knows that only 75 calientes were built right. Wrong. Lexus Australia has admitted to 80 actually being built. And on these special cars the plaque actually says xxof 80, how weird? Also these 5 are not ment to be in public circulation. Does anyone out there know any different? Please all the info the better. Cheers, Caliente. |

Source being i have seen one in the flesh and trying to negotiate buying after it was confirmed by lexus about the number issue, cause i thought it was a fake. As what make the diiferent is red paint, some extras and better stabilisers, not much really, just like the colour. As for there being a 100 of them who knows anymore as there was only ment to be 75 to start with, i wonder if this drops there value??? or if it increases the value of the ones that are not ment to be there??? |

AFAIK the Caliente was basically a Sport Luxury in red with the Elegance bodykit and Oz Racing wheels. These wheels turned up again on the Platinum edition. Of course, as we know, this means there are ACTUALLY 79 Caliente's in existence.... |

Those BASTARDS! I wonder how many yellow's there really are. All my friends keep telling me that the number plate on the dash should be a rolling tally and as the cars get written off the total number should go down and youre position could change. They also belive it is a ranking system that reflects your street cred. Take that number 30 i'm one better than you! Also when you move 5 rankings you get to race the boss down carbon canyon and take over his terriorty which gives you cash to buy viynls and some dude joins your crew and starts to autosculpt everything. Also when you press 2 you get all the new upgrades. |

My RS200 is yellow. Where do you signup for the upgrades cos pressing 2 doesn't seem to work on mine. Maybe it is because the are no canyons around Christchurch. |

Check out my post in: http://forum.altezzaclub.org.au/index.php?...3793&st=0&#last The Caleinte's really arent that expensive for something exclusive over a standard IS200. The Red paint & factory kit make the car stand out & looks awesome in my opinion. They also have full leather instead of the leather/suede but it's solid leather not perferated in the main sections for air flow like the 300's. Being 2002 I think they also have 6 airbags like the 300's. Someone should snap the ebay bargain up

T-bird, I just news in hot of the press that the car that we killed was re-birthed, so it goes from 79 back to 80. Man you could not pay me enough to get back into 67 of 75 after what i saw it was like when we disposed of it. If the person that now has 67-75 is reading this pm or e-mail me quick cause you are driving a time bomb, and also i can give you the log books and spare keys. Caliente. |

awww d00d, perhaps the site designer should add an unofficial tally of what these models have been through.. or at the least. keep updating the first post to show what each # has been through! |

I was wondering why they had a model called Caliente, when i see the red Altezzas around here quite often. I went and looked up the colours they were released with on auto.vl, but unfortunately I cant copy/paste the colour patch they have beside the names. I suppose they released the IS200 with a reduced choice so they could add extras later. http://english.auto.vl.ru/catalog/toyota/altezza/2002_8/551/

Great, thanks Stephen- Not really a very good colour copy, and the don't have my metallic red wine colour!- Ah- they had dropped red mica by 2002, and added the white pearl option! |
