Toyota Altezza - The Altezza name is also used generally for clear rear automobile tail lamps resembling those on the Toyota Altezza
The Altezza (known in some markets as the Lexus IS 200 and Lexus IS 300) is a compact luxury car from Toyota. The Altezza comes in 2 variants: the AS200, powered by the Toyota 1G-FE inline-6 engine (generating 160 bhp) and mated to a 5-speed manual transmission; and the RS200 powered by the 3S-GE inline-4 engine (generating 210 bhp) and mated to a 6-speed transmission. European and North American-market Lexus IS vehicles, as well as the Japanese hatchback version called the Gita are available with an optional 2JZ-GE 6-cylinder inline engine also found in the naturally-aspirated fourth-generation Toyota Supra. The 2JZ-GE powered IS series are popular amongst tuners because of this. US-market sales of the Lexus IS300 have been disappointing. After hitting a high of 22,486 units in 2001, IS sales dropped below the 10,000-unit mark in 2004. The MillenWorks-built Lexus IS 430 was unveiled at the 2003 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, Nevada. The IS 430 prototype is an IS 300 fitted with a 4.3 L V8 from the Lexus GS 430. Lexus dubs the IS 430 a one-off with no plans for production. 2006 The Altezza will be redesigned for the 2006 model year and will be introduced in the Fall of 2005. Altezza
