'89 Nissan 240SX SR20DET swap
still have my Maxima 5spd
cons with the Lexus? minor electrical problems... guage bulbs going out, HORRIBLY slow and lazy tranny... slow off the line, and even not off the line its slower than my other cars...
but quality is good, and the car is solid, and its just a pure comfy freeway cruiser
I love it!! (I'm getting old)

There's a 'Honda & Acura', 'Nissan & Infiniti', and 'Chrysler & Mercedes' redundancies, but no mention of the third largest automaker in the world: Toyota? Since you can't list thirty car brands in one poll, the options should just read the top automakers...
GM
Ford
Toyota
Volkswagon
Daimler-Chrysler
Honda
Nissan
and we can't forget the euro demographic...
PSA Peugeot Citroen
Renault
Fiat Auto

Hmm, I can't check off all the ones I want to , but i've owned many whips, and nothing does it for me like the Lexus coupe, bought one because i've loved the design since day 1, and my old man bought a '95 SC3 new that was almost exactly like the one I have now, same colour, interior, etc, he had it for awhile and only put about 8k miles on it, was going to keep it hoping it would be a classic, like i'm thinking. As for drawbacks, a little more power is always good, if only they had offered the Soarer 2.5 GT-T here, or an SC3-T with the MKIV TT's GTE, Getrag, LSD, springs, shocks, sway bars, bushings, and brakes...

I had a 97 Nissan Maxima SE. Some one tried to steal it one night and the neighbors heard the noise so they called the police. After the car went into the shop and the first night back it was stolen. But that car is very nice.

88 Prelude. Bought a 92 SC400 new when it came in (there were few cars and even fewer dealers back then) before the SC300 5 spd I'd originally ordered. Then 18 mos later reordered the 5 spd!!
