#1 of 527 IS 300 SportCross- by pocahontas Mar 15, 2001 (7:20 pm)
Here is the new place to discuss the 2002 IS 300 SportCross. To start, here's some information from Edmunds.com's News. What do you think?   Thanks for your participation. Pocahontas Host Hatchbacks/Station Wagons Message Boards
#2 of 527 A new contender by wishbone2001 Mar 15, 2001 (7:46 pm)
This vehicle caught my eye at the recent Auto Show in Toronto and has caused me to postpone my decision to buy a new vehicle until I get to test drive the IS300 SportCross in September. Can't wait. I am thrilled with the return to prominence of the station wagon in the marketplace. Lots more to chose from now, including quality wagons from Passat, Volvo, Subaru, Saab, etc. Four/all wheel drive option on the IS300 would put the final touches to the lineup.

I think that if I had the money I'd be at the dealer the day the first one rolled off the truck. Put a manual transmission is it, and I'd be one very happy camper...
#4 of 527 definitely a stick by qbrozen Mar 16, 2001 (6:53 am)
The IS300 needs a manual. The 215 hp doesn't act like it should when you look at the acceleration numbers. A stick should cure that. Then I'll put it on my list.
#5 of 527 Updates anyone? by wishbone2001 Mar 21, 2001 (5:41 pm)
Stick is out in the fall, reputedly 6 speed. Anyone have any other details regarding the 2002 IS300 SportCross?
#6 of 527 Erroneous info??? by barresa62 Mar 27, 2001 (11:23 pm)
Someone posted over in the OB Sport topic that Lexus had decided not to bring over the wagon afterall. Is this true? I hadn't read anything about this and I keep up on this stuff pretty regularly.   Stephen (New WRX owner)
#7 of 527 hatch? by thegeneraltso Mar 28, 2001 (6:34 am)
i wasn't fortunate enough to see the car in person ... but looking at the pic, it looks more like a hatch? like a vw golf.. am i wrong.
#8 of 527 Looks like a wagon to me by altsuv Mar 28, 2001 (6:49 am)
Check out the photos on this site: http://www.bilrevyen.com/Nyheter/Detroit_2001/Lexus_IS_300_SportCross/default.htm
#9 of 527 Updates by wishbone2001 Mar 28, 2001 (7:29 pm)
Toyota confirmed that it is the 5-speed, not the 6-speed manual which will be coming out this fall in the Sedan. Toyota also confirmed that theSportcross gets an additional speaker (9 instead of 8 on the sedan).   Unconfirmed: Centre armrest, electrochromic mirrors, full leather seating and stiffer suspension are rumoured. Possible engine tweak for a few more hp.   Please add to this list, thx.   I also noted the comment that the SportCross will not make it to the US. Toyota Canada confirmed recently that it is coming. However, anything can change.   The SportCross looks like a combination of my old '90 Civic Si Hatchback and the Outback Sport on steroids. This is not a criticism, as I really like the styling and saw the blue version last month. Very nice.
