It's almost as if they just took a pile of parts from different cars and put them all together. There are so many different styling ques from different cars it's not even funny... Not to mention it looks hideous on top of all that...

Not digging the look of the car especially the front bumper. And it's an auto? What powerplant does car have? I suppose the car is more for show than go?

I love all the "off the shelf" Toyota and Lexus parts that the car has on it. Shifter, Security light and combo switch to start off with. Dash has a very "Toyota" look to it.

Uses the 3MZ-FE.

Good engine. Bad application.
