the is300 is an inline six 3 liter with automatic tranny
the is200 is a 4 banger 2 liter with a six speed stick (i think the engine and tranny are from a celica gts)

Black_IS300

actually the is200 has the 1g-fe engine and its a 2.0 litre straight six.

the is200 is also pretty slow. The manual goes
0-62mph in 9.5 sec and the auto does it in 11.2 seconds (according to Lexus)
