Differences between '98 to '00 GS400?
I need to buy a car since I sold my MR2. And I'm in favor of getting a GS400, however i was just wondering if there's any differences from top to bottom between the model GS400 from the 1998 to 2000 version..?? I know the exterior are identical, but what about the engine, suspension, interior, or sounds...?? Is there any differences at all or are they all the same? Thanks guys.

'00 was the last year for E-shift for the GS400.

Nothing changed inside or out. What did change was option packages. HIDs became standard on the 400 in 99.....
