Tell him to get the genuine A emblem. That Toyota emblem is tacky (even though it is a Toyota).

for the us model i belive that they took the engine from the gs300, hence the new name IS300, either way i still prefer altezza to any other the other names it has.

this is interesting...

just yesturday, an "altezza"... or is300, was following me... i think they (three asian guys probably late teens early twenty's) were admiring the top down sight because they sure as hell didn't see the pickup truck stopped in front of him!!... the damage sounded REALLY bad!!...
