Sounds like a 4-cylinder?!? Maybe volume-wise ONLY, but those UZ V8s in particular have a velvety tone that no other V8s have.

I had a 1992 SC300, 5 speed. Bought in 2012 with 60k miles on it, garage princess, 1 owner. Just NUTS how nice/ahead of the curve that car was for 1992. Toyota was out to prove a point with this car and the LS400. That they could build a better car than Mercedes at a lower price point. After owning that car for 9 years/50k more miles, it being rock solid reliable, didn't suffer any cosmetic maladies with age, they proved their point to me.

Your telling me, my same situation 1994 Celica is amazing, it was basically a Lexus Corolla. Smooth, reliable, quick, what you get from a Lexus but like a entry level base model.

Valved exhaust would be beautiful, loud when desired, quiet for day to day

@CockatooDude 6 ай бұрын

This is probably just me but it feels like this is a kind of car to which being loud is never really suitable. It doesn't strike me as having that kind of personality. The gearbox and throttle mapping are simply too smooth, the bodywork too friendly and unassuming.

The ls400s also had a whacky thermofan. We swapped ours out for the ones from an E series falcon which are basically identical in size massively powerful by comparison. Never had a cooling problem after that. And easier to control

There’s a three-way balance between handling, road-holding, and ride-quality - when designing a car, you have to pick two.

@@Ang3lUki I own a Citroën SM (3.0L Fuel Injected, 5MT, Euro-spec headlights). It arguably has the best handling and ride-quality of any production car ever made, but most have never heard of it because it can’t road-hold very well.

This was hilarious. Great video. By the way, the passenger cup holder is only useful for holding an empty cup when you need both hands. I have two, a '93 and a '99. I drive my '99 (with 205,000 miles) whenever I can. I did take out the six CD changer and Nakamichi head unit and have a double-din unit with CarPlay. Great for cruising. As I watch this, I remember how much more refined the '97 to '00 cars are. I would love a black interior.

DRLs on Canadian model cars are similar using the existing lighting, with most using the high beams at 50%, some using the parking light/turn signal, and a small amount using a fog or driving light.

As someone that owns an SC (used to own 2), the SC is literally a Mk4 with a body kit. All the interior and chassis bits are bolt on. Just exterior that differs. I have Supra brakes, coilovers, control arms, rear LSD, sway bars.
