I have searched far into the internet archives to see if top gear had ever tested lexus models. You probably have seen the SC430 which received a horrid review, and the latest IS-F, but it turns out "old" top gear tested the IS200.

Here is James May's review in 1999.

it's not "old" top gear.

Old Top Gear didn't have James May.

 

Excellent find! and a very favorable review too!

 

Excellent! Good find, love it.

& for the record May says that this is his 4th time on Top Gear (and the 3rd time he's had to mention BMW)

 

Yes it's fairly recent.

Edit: it's from 2005.

 

they at top gear really hate the beeping in Lexi, don't they? lol lol

Nice review, great find!!
