I'm tempted to say something about carbon interior add ons and the additional horsepower potential/added structural rigidity that accompanies, but I'll restrain myself. http://www.gotapex.com/ubb/wink.gif

I'm new to this car fixup so all kinds of suggestions are welcome. http://www.gotapex.com/ubb/smile.gif I've saved certain amount of money and ready to fix up my new car. Unfortunately, according to the press of Toyota, 2001 GS430 will only have 300 horsepower instead of 330. DAMN IT! I'll hold the money for this moment 'til a more decent car comes out. IS TOYOTA OUT OF THEIR MIND? Disappointed.

Toyota. . . anyhow. I'm a little confused, do you have a car currently now that you want to tweak or are you planning on purchasing a car? If you are purchasing screw the stuff that comes from the rising sun and look over to the country of beer festivals and bratwursts. Ahh yes I can here the polka music.

The press was released on Toyota's website, not Lexus's (don't know why). I've been planning to purchase a GS430. However, I'd not make any deposit 'til I test drive (M3 is the exception). Plus the dealer told me that he would have the cars in two or three days TWO WEEKS AGO. But he ain't get no cars. By the way, I love bratwursts. Heh~

Good lord, all this talk over a grocery hauler. For the same money, you could be looking at a 97-98 911, but nope...I will never understand the allure of a BMW. The Lexus, ok, but more as a luxury sedan, and I certainly wouldn't get as worked up as you over 30 lousy hp.

The new GS430 increases weight and it actually accelerates slower than GS400. In order to keep the pace, 30 more horsepower is needed. What can I say? I want a sporty luxery seden and BMW just isn't as luxery as Lexus.

Uh, have you seen the toyo. . . err lexus interiors?!?! It's plastic heaven. Not that I'm saying the BMW's interior is much better though. But I checked out an M5 that my Dad's friend bought. . . ooooohhhhhh mannnnnnnnnnn. I had to keep a bucket under my mouth from all of the drool. But seriously now, if you want a great luxury sports sedan, check out the MB's e430 or e55, or Bimmer's 540is (mmm six speed).

Unfortunately I really hate the look of E-class. As you mentioned about the interior of BMW, I couldn't find any difference between 3 series and 5 series. I checked out M5 couple months back with my friends and we all felt the same. Yes, it's a great car (400 hp, vroom vroom). The price is unbelieveabley high. I went to Longo at Los Angeles area, according to what sales person told me, the new Lexus sport line should be out within a month and should be more than 400 horsepower. They add a supercharger, change the suspension, tires, breaks and all other stuffs. But they always BS in order to get your attention, I'll just wait and see.
