uh...you may want to elaborate....a little vague. I assume you're referring to the extended warranty from the ALE campaign?

Anybody think about all the issues that may arise from a new car being brough out. I would put the Camry/GS300 motor up against any motors out there. This GS350 motor belongs in the category with Suzuki, Kia, etc....junk cars.

I knew i shouldn't have done it and waiting atleast a year.

They now provides us with an extended warranty on powertrain since the car may break down in the future.

I don't think the 2GR-FSE is really less reliable in any meaningful way than the 3GR-FSE.

Probably not, however I do notice gs300 models seem to have always a dirty tail pipe compared to the gs350. I clean mine weekly and it goes back to carbon black in a week, almost like the sign of oil consumption. Yea the gs350 is newer but you'll clearly see it's cleaner running then the 300.

Can u rephrase you question so we can understand what exactly you are talking about? Is it a lemon? You are looking for extended warranty?

It's not a lemon until the defect impairs the use, value, or safety of the car after attempts to repair it.

That would be called a complete sentence.
