Here's the link:

Altezza

There are some pics in there of the new armrest and it doesn't look as if it's attached to the seat.

I'm sure once those are available, they'll be on national back order too, just like the TRAC ECU.

Could this be the 2002 blue that's replacing SBM:

If thats the new blue, I am glad I got my SBM and didn't wait for the 2002.

Is that new Altezza spoiler or it comes attached with the trunk?

try a search...someone posted a link to all the paint codes a while back. it was a thread on the new blue. i posted in that thread...try a search using member #7 and the keywords "dark blue mica" and see if you get the thread.

Here are all the changes I noticed:

Cronograph Display is New:
- RPM in the Middle and MPH/Km/hr on the left
- Enlarged Digital Distance reading
- Extra Detail in the chronograph around the fuel gage, battery and miles per gallon gage .

Interior:
-Arm rest and a more shallow cup holder.
-Interior Color tone is different no more copper color detail. Just Two tones.

Exterior: Spoiler is the same as the 2002 IS300 model. null

Brake Lights seem to have black housing. Optional maybe?.............

Oh and the Grill is the same as the IS300 grill except for the Altezza Emblem.

That was good of you to put the link for the whole car, when I posted the grill pic I thought most people would be interested in that more. The other stuff like (armrest, all leather seats) are already known by most people looking to wait and purchase the 2002, but none the less, It was good of you to give the whole link not just posting a pic like I did with the grill.

I also noticed on the interior pics that the rear defroster button now has a picture of an outside rear view mirror indicating that the outside mirror heaters can be turned on and off manually instead of always being on. Cool.

Guys Guys...just remember that this is a Japanese Toyota site. We may not get all of these things.

Although I am hoping we are, I just am trying to keep a realistic view on it.
