A02B, R154. How about those features? Don't know about you but I would sure make use of a 5-speed and limited slip rear end that was never offered on the Lexus, not to mention the 1JZ and TEMS. An optioned up 2.5GT-TL has every option plus more than the SCX00's, with the exception of cloth seats. A Soarer 4.0GT-L could be equipped with reversing camera, a passive air suspension, an active hydraulic suspension, touchscreen navigation, and self-washing power folding mirrors.
In any case, the Soarers were a few steps ahead of the SC's.
Then sell it. You clearly don't appreciate the design end engineering that went into this car if you're calling the headlamps 'bug-eyes.' Furthermore, I don't think you understand how advanced and luxurious these cars were for their time. Remember, when these debuted in June 1991, everything else still looked a lot like a box on
wheels. |
Well put.... this is what makes the car "different." it's not another "me too" vehicle on the road today. I have a WRX that I keep very clean, very slightly lowered, stock wheels, and even if it were highly modded with visual cosmetic like stuff done, NOBODY would care.
After owning both for some time now, I simply appreciate both for different reasons. The Lex by far gets a ton more looks/respect than the WRX. Wrx = Punk kid car. Even if I drive it slow/tastefully, I'm still a punk 31 year old kid.
Great part about the "old" lexus is that it'll preserve my hearing.... WRX = road noise, and tons of it....that seems to be the case unless you have $50-$80k to drop on a newer car...
