You put if perfectly 1SICK, I live on the 3rd Floor, so I always see my Lexus from the birds eye view, and thats exactly what you see!! Long hood, smooth sides, and a short pinched rear. These traits really come through when the car is lowered! As far as the length goes, I really prefer the 194 vs 189". the longer length lends the car a more luxurious look, etc. The tradeoff is weight, which is why the 2nd Gens are such good performers, (even in 300 form).

Default Yeah, boyyyyyy...

alexamparo, you are so right, man.

Even though a lot of us got the car much cheaper than $47K that it costed new.
The bottom line is you are still driving a $47K car. And as far as the interior goes,
it's beautifully designed. The only thing I added was a wood steering wheel and
that makes it look even better.

And yesss, it is a timeless piece of the car industry. And thanks to us, it will never
ever disappear. I freakin' love my car, man.

Still looks good, done right. Unfortunately the price on them are dropping and guys in Civics that shop at Pep Boys are buying em..

I still got the original 1993 brochure at the Atlanta Auto show as well as clippings of it. I wanted one real bad. I flirt with getting one white, redoing the inside black like my GS.

This is an oldie but goodie

I'm good, brother? I was dead to the world for a while - work, work, and more work.
You know the deal. What are the developments on your new 20s? or did you decide
to go all out and put 22s on? LOL
