Cloth interior is quite common on Japanese cars, in Europe however 90% of the GS's have leather
In Europe we only have the GS300 and GS430, we did not get the GS400 nor the 2JZ-GTE powered Aristo that was for the Japanese market only
nice info, ty

or any car almost man....my favorite car STILL is the 1992 delsol with the transtop. i mean this is a 17 year old honda with a FULLY ELECTRIC TARGA TOP. what do we get in America? a removeable targa top (you have to unlatch it, take it off and stow it in the trunk yourself)
purely lame

Aren't the Jag, Saab and Audi all 4 cylinder cars?

Yes they are switced around because the steering is on the Right Side of the car.

My Aristo also has 4 wheel steering, which is not on my Lexus GS300

Yes rear steering rack is only on the Aristo V300
There are electric folding mirrors as well on the Aristo that are not on the European GS

The gauges are switched on the RHD models Aristo or GS, the non-US LHD GS have it the same way as USDM ones

I notice in your sig that youve sold your Aristo TT. Did you sell you TRD 320 Speedo with it?

Only problem I had is I could not find the km/h to mph converter so at the moment I have a 320mph gauge. It is very unlikely I ever get to this speed
