Thank you for posting this! I like the old C&D articles. And the 1SC design remains timeless.

no, the 1RX uses the 3.0L 1MZ-FE V6, the SC300 employs the 3.0L 2JZ-GE I6.

Haha, modern day automatics are efficient. Oy, 4 whole speeds. Laughable.
I miss when you could get Lexus's in MTs. IS250, blah.
