Style-wise, this, IMO, has to be the best-looking Toyota product of all time.....the 1994-1999 Celica. (I owned a blue one).

Funny that you mentioned that car. My brother in law and I are thinking of buying a used one and setting it up for Targa racing. The Steve Millen GTR better watch its ***

How do you know that the LS460 is as reliable as the previous LS? Keep in mind the first iteration of the LS400 was built during the bubble of Japan where cost wasn't probably closely looked at as it is today.

Optitron, DAT, Piezo/TEMS suspension, voice guided electromultivision (GPS)...options like these and the durability of the LS already proves that UCF platform was great IMO.

and where is the 2000GT? What about the Megacruiser?

Pretty good list, but I would have taken the SC300/400 off. Good cars, but definitely not as iconic.

I think the 2000GT, LFA and Corolla should definitely be on the list. I like the Celicas too, the All-trac turbo models in particular.

The original, Japanese-spec Celsior from 1989 should be on that list. It was groundbreaking, revolutionary, and set a very high bar for reliability. The LSs since then have not been revolutionary; rather they were merely evolutionary.

3) MKII MR2 - The mini Ferrari. 20 years on, still looks incredible. Fast as hell, maneuverable, very tunable, very sexy, very reliable. Way ahead of it's time.

4) FJ60 Land cruiser - A more unrefined version of it's older brother the 80. Just as incredibly capable, although slightly less refined and reliable. Available in 5 speed.

5) LS460 - Arguably the best luxury sedan ever produced. Reliable as hell, luxurious as you could ever want, powerful, stable, comfortable, etc.

6) SC300/400 - like we don't know all the positive attributes here. Manual KO1 Auto though.

In no particular order, but I'd remove everything on the list except for the Supra and MR-2, and add the Celica All Trac, LFA.
