I am biased and am a IS fan, especially if you love to drive on curvey roads. Still the look of a VIP LS is stunning, so really the choice is made depending on what you use the car for.

thanks for voicing the entire Japanese nationality. people in Japan don't even do VIP anymore...say what?

Aritsune Tokudaiji, a famous automotive journalist in Japan (kinda like Clarkson here minus his humor), said that he would want to own a Toyota Crown as his last car.

btw, we all are NOT obsessed with German cars b/c they don't make one boxes. Alphard/Elgrand/Elision/etc...ever heard of them?

wheels are too big, it's too high off the ground, offset is weak. it's a nice car but not quite right.
