Default Spotted an HS look alike in Torrance with 2 Toyota Escorts

They tried cutting my GS off and driving uber slow but I still got footage..
So if I'm not here after tonight you guys know I'm in Toyota Land

Make that 4 Escorts..A Tundra then an Avalon Followed by the camo car and a Camo'd Prado.

Good catch. I wonder if the camoflauge caught the eyes of any others.

At the risk of sounding like a complete idiot, what's a Land Cruiser Prado?

Its what the rest of the world gets instead of a GX470.
I did spot an ISF in 2006.(But We-Todd-did-racing is down).sounded like a v8 when it started up. (that was in 1/06 right after the 2IS came)... In Torrance as well.

That definitely looks like an HS 250h. It also has the pop-up center NAVI display. Nice find and thx for sharing the vid!

Dare I say that in black and with that style rim, the HS actually looks like a decent car. Yeah, the camo covers up the front and rear but the body doesn't look half as ugly in real life as I thought it would.
