Not sure if this has ever been done before here on CL, but here goes...

Object of the game is to correctly answer the Lexus-related question(s) first. They could range from any topic or feature chosen, such as parts, factory specs, etc. Then (here comes the fun part), you come up with and pose question(s) on a Lexus that you do NOT own. For example, if you own an SC300, you can ring up a question on any Lexus vehicle, but not from a SC300 (SC400 is permissible as long as the question is unique to that vehicle). This kind of answer-and-question handoff continues around, so let's have some fun with this game! (and also learn something new at the same time)

OK, I'll start out with a couple questions regarding the 1st-gen GS300 (1993-1996):

1) What size stock tires do they run from the factory?
2) What was the estimated price tag for a 1993 GS300 back then?

1. I think it was 225/60/16
2. I believe it started at $39k

Not sure if I am right, so not sure if I should ask a question.

Well, since I no longer have my GS300 as it was replaced by my GS430, do I qualify?

If so, it came with 215/60/16, cost 39.5k

Heres some more interesting facts on the first gen gs it was originally a jaguar concept car and the aristo was availble with a v8 as well as all wheel drive.

I never heard about the jaguar thing, or the v8, or awd, but I heard japan had the aristo with twin turbos and there was also a model with 4 wheel steering. I also heard it's been designed by the same guys who design ferraris.
