Aristo I-Four
Just wondering if any one knew anything about this car. I know it's not quite a 2GS, but I had never heard anything about it until I stumbled across this...

I think it would be pretty sweet with the updated 1 UZFE with VVTI.

I suppose you could say that this is the first GS400?

Yeah, I guess. I had never heard of it before. Sometimes I wish our GS 400's had 4 wheel drive so driving in the snow wouldn't be such a hassle.

Prevents you from accelerating too quickly.
The v8 is cool and all, but the non VVTI version is pretty much as slow as our cars.

It was a failed production trim. The awd sucks too. Look up the 1uz supercharged i-four aristo that drifts. its red. He converted back to RWD

I bet it does plenty in Florida. Even with good snow tires all around, I’ve struggled here in Canada.
