I think it's one of those Mark cars like neujen said. They do look similar though.

jzx90 chassis.. same body lines as an es but with gs characteristics - 1jz/2jz motor and rwd.. jzx100 also resembles the 97-01 es300.. i always figured a front end swap was possible, could never find any es300s with it done though

yeah, its a MarkII... There was an article from the 90's where a MarkII and an M3 (from the year of the article) battled at Tsukuba (or however you spell it) asnd the MarkII had the best times. It came with a 1JZ-GTE engine option. You can now find them in full drift dress fairly often now on Yahoo Japan Auctions.

They look like a Windom and a Chaser combined.

How long is it? Are we talking LS400 but lower and a slightly sportier stance? Somewhere inbtween LS and ES? I have only read about them and have always wondered.
