PLANO, Texas (October 3, 2019) – Providing IS F SPORT customers with a stylish new package that stands out from the crowd, Lexus is taking the Black Line Special Edition and expanding upon it for 2020.

The driver will appreciate the Indigo Blue accents on the heated wood steering wheel, which is accompanied by Indigo Blue accents on the door switch panels and glove box.
