Also why the IS 300 came with a 5 speed instead of the 6-speed from the IS 200.

And the IS 200 was deemed TO CHEAP for the American market. Lexus research indicated 4 cylinders in the American market have no belonging in a luxury car maker thus they dropped the 2JZ and brought it here. Honda would try convince us otherwise.

that was my point.Quite frankly, 5 speed manuals were out 8 or 9 years ago.

Clearly a different, buffed up tranny able to handle the power. Just that particular 6-speed could not handle the 2JZ (the one for the 2.0 I-4). that was my point.

"The Lexus IS200 boasts a 2.0 litre straight six engine and is exceptionally smooth."
Engine Capacity 1988 cc
Cylinders 6
Power 153@6200 ( bhp / rpm )
Torque 144@4600 ( lb / ft )
CO2 Emissions 231 ( g /km )
Performance
0 > 62 mph Acceleration 9.5 seconds
Maximum Speed 134 mph
Damnit, just thinking about how sick a small-displacement 6 like that is makes me want to vomit hardcore.
Son of a ******** **** *****...Granted, no one would want it, but I sure as hell would...****!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
