Also why the IS 300 came with a 5 speed instead of the 6-speed from the IS 200.

LMAO! One of the reasons the SL65 uses a 5 speed. It can handle the torque. the 6 and 7 speed can't.

And the IS 200 was deemed TO CHEAP for the American market. Lexus research indicated 4 cylinders in the American market have no belonging in a luxury car maker thus they dropped the 2JZ and brought it here. Honda would try convince us otherwise.

that was my point.Quite frankly, 5 speed manuals were out 8 or 9 years ago.

Clearly a different, buffed up tranny able to handle the power. Just that particular 6-speed could not handle the 2JZ (the one for the 2.0 I-4). that was my point.

I agree with you about the 5-speed manuals, but why didn't Toyota just use the 6-speed Getrag? We know that it can hold the power, and its reliable
