Scottish Storm Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 But didn't. I was looking at a white Lexus IS200 Sport as I fancied six cylinders and RWD again but I couldn't bring myself to do it. I've poured too much blood sweat and beers into the Gen 7 and there's still loads to go so I'll be around for a while yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanH Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 I was in the same position twice this year Once, same as you for a IS200 and second time for a Mitsubishi GTO but I just can't do it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottish Storm Posted December 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 I was surprised at the lack of power in the Lexus Dan, I have to admit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanH Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 I've never been in one so I don't know how it feels. I did drive the IS250 and the IS-F(instant orgasm) but both of them are newer models. Instead of IS200 try the Altezza that has the Beams engine.

thermoacc Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 Massive Lexus fan here. Had a few now, starting with a 1990 LS400. You did the right thing on the IS200. Cant say I have ever liked them and as said, not all that quick. (Not a real Lexus anyway ) Current Lexus is a LS430......Different world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Current Lexus is a LS430......Different world The LS400/430's are awesome.!!...always been a big fan....and one of the VERY few cars I'd consider in place of my Celica. For a bloody big V8 they aren't that bad on fuel either (relatively)......no, I mustn't...I really mustn't..lol Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thermoacc Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 2003 model. If you can look past the ugly front end, it is a truly awsome car. (Still prefer the Gen2's look) It's good on fuel for what it is, but still has a massive drink problem. Makes the CS look like a Prius 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes the CS look like a Prius Agree...but as I do relatively few miles per annum these days, the fuel costs are not that much of a concern. I actually like the "original" LS400...a big chunky block of a car and ugly as Hell...but it's always appealed to me. Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherv Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 If I was looking at a Lexus it would have to be the Altezza with the Beams engine like said,around 210bhp compared to the UK IS200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanH Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 Even the gs430 would be a good choice if you can go past the looks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
