Europe

1. IS200 (http://www.lexus.co.uk/specificatio...a=specification)

3. IS300 (http://www.lexus.co.uk/modelrange.p...;area=modelhome)
2JZ-GE: 3.0L inline 6 VVTi - 211 hp

4. IS300 SportCross (http://www.lexus.co.uk/specificatio...a=specification)

North America

b) 5 speed manual RWD

1. IS300 Sportcross

So pretty much, you could say the best model is...

1. in Japan (if you like the high-revving and 2975 lbs almost 50-50 Altezza RS200 3S-GE 6-speed)
or

2. in America (if you like the supra-derived and 3255 lbs and 54-46 IS300 2JZ-GE 5-speed stick)
