Any more opinions? I'm seriously looking at these now as they sound fantastic for the money, I'd like full leather though but we can't have everything!

Could a mod move this to GG please to get more opinions? Thanks!

According to Glass' Guides...all 04 plate onward sports all definately come with leather and short throw gear leaver as per standard

I once had an altezza rs200z it was a really good car,faster than the lexus is200 and better mpg,i spent a fortune doing it up then a stupid woman had to hit it and once i got it fixed i didnt really want it no more so i traded it in for a gtr skyline,i used to get a lot of people ask about it as i fitted a body kit and gold wheels with a wide polished lip and it just changed the way it looked it was mica blue .will post a pic tomorrow of it.

always fancied a Lexus but they are rather slow, and have been down the tuning road with the EVO's 500bhp and many 100's of pounds, thought the E46 M3 was going to the one, comfort and power, but got rather bored, Now looking at an RS4, but would love a Lexus.

Not on any models I've seen or heard of. Definitely exactly the same.

You are wrong.

Well this being the case- Lexus Glasgow, Edinburgh and GLASS' Spec guide is incorrect

OK, yes it is. They are the same. It is the same shifter, go and take one out. It is the same gearbox to boot, check the part numbers.

Go and drive them, they are the same.

It is the same J160 gearbox, with the same shifter.

hi dont rule out the toyota altezza rs200 its lighter than the is200 but less toys to play with but at 210bph standard will beat any is200 off the line but like with all 6cyl engines the is200 will catch you in the end ...
