This is a repost Mike. It was posted a while ago - just can't find the thread now.

Forget the Avalon, give us the Mark X. We would've had this if we didn't "kill off" the Cressida.

What does the Camry-based Avalon have to do with Mark X?

Mark X is really a GS with a different skin. I say "forget the GS, give us the Mark X"!

Dunno, I prefer the GS. Maybe some become a little too fascinated by the Japanese models just because we don't get them here.

I said it before and I will say it again. I'd take that car over my IS350 anyday!

I drove Mark II back in my country and I loved it.

Thats the way I feel too. I personally do not think it looks better than any of the current Lexus models. Always hated that hood and headlights. Looks more like a smoothed over 1IS from that angle, but even the 1IS looks better IMO.

I like it...ya have to see it though.

I do miss the later gen Mark II's/Chasers. The MX83 Cressida was pretty close to the UCF10 IMO.

It's the GS. It even has the same wheelbase as the GS. The IS on the other hand is based on a shortened GS.
