[FarmerPug]

A lexus, why?

[lozz]

A lexus, why?

Thats a bit of a stupid question,
its like asking someone why theyd want a 406,

[FarmerPug]

sorry

[lozz]

sorry

Iam but the lexus tempts me,
what else has a 2.0 6pot ?

rover 75 maybe but theyre plastic jags,

Lexus holds its value,
is reliable as its got some links to toyota,
and it looks the part ,

ithink the lexus is a nice looking motor ,
icouid go for an impreza but they last 5 mins iwant something thatl be worth its money and something that dont eat piston rings like the Scoobys do ,

[FarmerPug]

the problem i have with the early is200 is the interior its a bit plasticy.
The newer model the one that offers the is220d is much nicer.

[lozz]

Theres plastic in all cars mate,
yeh the lexus as plastic but its all hard stuff no rattles its a solid motor,

if everyone didnt like plastic in a car ithink they be best with a pre 70s motor,

I like Lexuses (Lexii?). Had a journey in an LS once and it was uncannily smooth and effortless.
The Honda is probably the closest I could currently afford to one. Would be on my radar in the future, although probably a diesel or hybrid.

As Alan Partridge said they're the "Japanese Mercedes"

i was in an IS and had that problem with it, yes all cars interiors are made of plastic but this was a shiny plastic that looked too much like our old carina.
On the other hand The new is220d is a fantastic car though, very solid, the diesel is very smooth, much better than the 320d, and its well equipped:

Pre 2000 BMW 320i & 520i had 2 litre straight 6 engines with 150bhp.

Or you could be really brave & get a Mazda MX3 with a 1.8 V6.

If you want 6 cylnders and just 2 litres yes there was the rover 75 but it had a k series engine.
Then there is this, which if you buy means you overlook another 406 which is a bit mad, the you overlook a used is220d which is insane:

i seen a picture somewhere but it does have a flat 6

A lot of car for the money.

Always liked the Epica, shame no-one else did.

If they had fired a diesel lump in, it would have took off with the taxi drivers and fleets.

7k for a nearly new diesel barely run in!

How come they never sold? Rarer than a Cadillac.
