I havent owned a non 4wd for 16 years ( or anything other than a rover too ) but my mate has one of those RX thingy's and he had to take it to Mel city lexus for a new puel pump ( yes even toyo premium brands breakdown ) he was given a new IS250 for a few days and man they is one beautiful ride. Smooth , quiet and surprisingly quick for a small engine , i'd almost have one if it was given to me. JC, we have turned the heat up for you and you will have a beautiful day to test the new beast before going back over the pond - have fun.

I can't say anymore than

It is everything I expected and more.

Took it for a blat down to Portsea and Rosebud before heading back to the ferry terminal, I am in Love.


The ONLY thing as a minus, it has the euro sport suspension etc pack, which means it has 17" alloys, and MONSTROUS brakes. This is a good thing except for the harshness of the ride. But, I'll live with it

What profile tyres? I found the 225 50 series to be quite good.

I also notice you dont have the LSE in your sig any more, is it gone to another home?

LEXUS = Luxury Export United States.

And the US is where they should all go, and stay !



Just kidding - if you're happy that's the important thing.
(That and the fact you didn;t buy the stupid rebadged LandCruiser!).

Well its started already today

Had someone comment about 'having too much money lying around' Implying that the part I just sold him was helping finance the 'new car'.

Bloody thing is cheaper than a Ford XR6, I bet if I had a shiny new one of those parked outside no one would say a thing

Got the same crap when we bought the LS400 6 years ago. I thought people had moved on, but obviously NOT.

Same with me,I've had people walk up to me in the street twice and remark about the L322 even though it's cheaper to run than my work hilux.There's a roaring trade in tall poppy shears around here. Pat
