Let's say you're one of those idiots who got enamored with the A80 Supra. And you're probably thinking you can't get enough if you can't have this speficic model. What are your other options? Well... if you have an open mind, let me get you into the other excellent options that can fit any kind of JZ engine and 6-speed manual gearbox. Actually... any kind of engine and gearbox. A true tuner at heart knows no limits for its imagination and actions.
Toyota Soarer / Lexus SC
The lovely personal luxury coupe, fits 4 with comfort and you can really push your own limits on your driving capabilities. I'll never forget a video from a korean who tried to drift an automatic one and almost crashed on the curb of a road. Another sign that different and difficult cars makes excellent drivers.
Toyota Chaser, Cresta, Mark II, Verossa
A little band of sedans that won't weigh as much as a packed A80. If you're really into importing one, you will just have a beefy sedan that can hold astonishing amounts of punch no Supra could ever take. And by that I mean a serious amount of torsional forces along the body. Another thing to bruise on the face of your friend with that crappy targa-top shit that drags him into debt. Such a miracle that a japanese import is actually superbly cheaper than a common darling these days hehehe.
Toyota Aristo / Lexus GS
This one has the lines of Giorgetto Giugiaro and sold pretty well in foreign markets. Basically the Mercedes from Toyota. I find kinda amusing that tuners often forget that these actual big boats were the ones that carried all their beloved tires, wheels, brakes, suspension, drivetrain and engines they supposedly love so much, but fail to see the beauty on a different package. Good for me, for a couple of smart geniuses around (and I'm part of them), bad for the idiots gawking at crappy at those catfishes. Not the delicious Camaro (1993-2002), I'm talking about the crappy Supra that has a worse base-proportion than the "catfish" Camaro. But you don't have to believe me or check the data. Go live your illusion.
Toyota Celsior / Lexus LS
Basically your VIP car at a fraction of a Century cost. Nobody can deny that this one was engineered to beat anything from europe or north-america. Although a bit boring in style, the quality speaks for itself. Kinda sad that many let this beauty go away for basically not knowing what they really are. Well, when a bunch of blacks and whites still carving for illusions, you just let them go. But catch that Celsion as soon as possible. They'll miss it more than they can think about.
Lexus RC "Radical Coupe"
Now, in terms of modern manufacturing, this is perhaps the nicest coupe you can have if you really miss the Soarer. When Toyota is basically doing little tweaks on a BMW trying to grasp the old right things from that "Supra" 2000-GT, you can actually have a 100% japanese engineered car on your hands with all the modern technology in terms of construction. Believe-me, not even the best and pristine A80 Supra can reach this level of refinement. You'll be more than surprised along the way.
Lexus LC "Luxury Coupe"
Of course you probably want an LFA-10, but given how rare that crap of plastic box actually is and how quirky it drives and how complex it is to tune properly. Why don't you try the absolute beauty of this coupe and roadster? Its basically metal frame. Despite the weight, this one is built to last forever and I'm very sad they're taking it out of production. Maybe for other interesting things to come but the LC will remain as powerful as I can think on my mind. I definitely don't want an LFA-10. It was poorly engineered from day 1. For them its just business and I get it. If it only was a bit lighter and cheaper...
Rejoice at the vast lineup of Toyota/Lexus that can fill your dreams in a better way.
