Car Forum / Toyota / Toyota Cars / December 2007Hey, Witfal!
Why didn't you get an IS300? Same engine as the Supra (basically), 3.0 Liter VVTi Fire Breathing Monster, decent handling and all in a good looking package. We had one at the Toy dealer I was working at in Oght-five, the Hatch version with paddle shifters. Woooooo-Hoooooo!!!! Definitely *NOT* a boring car! > Why didn't you get an IS300? > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Definitely *NOT* a boring car! Boring compared to a Bimmer. Shifting sucks. Handling sucks. The car's weight distribution sucks. I'd rather have the old Supra. I'm not sure about the new IS350s as I haven't driven the newest incarnation. Reviews still have it lacking compared to a BMW, but getting closer yet. The new Infiniti G37 turned my head the other day. A nice, upgraded subtle re-issue of the G35. >> Why didn't you get an IS300? >> [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > incarnation.

I thought you were going to come back with a 4T, which is Kentucky... >> On 2007-12-26 16:16:26 -0800, Hachiroku ããã㯠<Trueno@AE86.gts> >> said: [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > JT=Japan make.

Maybe a 4T would have served us better. >>> On 2007-12-26 16:16:26 -0800, Hachiroku ããã㯠>>> <Trueno@AE86.gts> said: [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > I specifically looked for the JT before making the purchase in 1998.

Unfortunately, the trouble we had weren't repeated, so the lemon law wouldn't apply. The care now has 207K+, and is still running strong. She doesn't burn a drop of oil either. No sludge, either. ;-) We changed the oil every 3.5K, and did all scheduled services. The engine, other than valve cover gaskets, has been perfect internally. But the rest externally has caused us a lot of trouble. I'll say again, each brand has troubles. We have a friend with a '93 Camry that has well over 300K and has been a nearly perfect vehicle. Oh well. > The new Infiniti G37 turned my head the other day. A nice, upgraded > subtle re-issue of the G35. What G37?? maybe your talking about the 350Z. >> The new Infiniti G37 turned my head the other day. A nice, upgraded >> subtle re-issue of the G35. > > What G37?? maybe your talking about the 350Z. Nope. An Infiniti G37 - http://www.infiniti.com/g_coupe/?dcp=16643732%3b&dcc=96526493%3b > >> The new Infiniti G37 turned my head the other day. A nice, upgraded > >> subtle re-issue of the G35.

Dimensions are far larger on the Infiniti, without the kidney-busting ride of the Z. Wheelbase of the Z is 104", the G37's at 112 for starters. >>>>> The new Infiniti G37 turned my head the other day. A nice, upgraded >>>>> subtle re-issue of the G35.

One of these fer me, please! http://www.gtrnissan.com/?Site=nissanusa&Area=GT-R_Home 250 MPH out of the box!!!! > One of these fer me, please! > > http://www.gtrnissan.com/?Site=nissanusa&Area=GT-R_Home > > 250 MPH out of the box!!!! My son is drooling big time. >> One of these fer me, please! >> [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > My son is drooling big time. Um, $80,000 out of the box, too! But not every dealer will get ONE, and most will get ONE. So expect the out-the-door price to be more like $140 Large... >>> One of these fer me, please! >>> [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > most will get ONE. So expect the out-the-door price to be more like $140 > Large... Like any new model, those who want to be first, pay big time. Ridiculous. |
