Toyota is coming out wiht a new successor to the FJ..it should have the same nameplate as well!

Toyota I think is much more reliable and less problematic because they under-tune their engines.

Just look at the 2JZ-GE engine, if has so mcuh potential but they under tune it. I guess they choose reliability and comfort over performance.

I think Nissan is the other a complete 180 from Toyota and Acura is somewhat in between.

I think Nissan is a 180 from Toyota in terms of their approach to their market. But they also have de-tuned motors (see: 3L VQ, 3.5L VQ, 4.5L VK).

btw, the 2Jz-GE is the 3L I6 right?? I wish Toyota would use normal engine codes...that display the diaplcement in them.

Ye, I experiuenced that engine when I test drove a 99 GS300. Very quiet engine...my dad had his ear to the hood and told me to turn the car on when it was already on. LOL..it was funny. I wish it would rev a little faster though...we almost bought hte car, but didn't get a good vibe from the place. Also the car drove kinda funny (very loud over bumps and squeamish as well)

prolly the tires were done for.
i can't hear my engine either when I'm idle and when I give it a lil throttle i can hear my exhaust with a deep sound.

I had a 99 GS300. It wasn't that quiet. You could definitely hear it when outside but inside it was quite quiet. My MDX on the other hand is quite loud even at idle.

 

[JSang]

lexus all the way

 

[cmdavid]

Toyota/Lexus.... then Nissan then Honda

 

[BurnItDwn]

Nissan followed closely by Subaru

I dont like any honda or toyota models really ... though I'd like a honda bike.

 

[DieselUV]

I'm going to vote Toyota/Lexus. I'm a tad bit biased.

Dad has had the LS400 and 430. He loves them and never had any probs. I have a 96 S/C 4Runner and an 03 Camry SE V6. I love the FJ40, Supra, 4Runner, SC430, and GX470.

No wasn't the tires..i Checked the thread. I think that car had been in an accident..had to be something wrong wiht it..it was almost $10k cheaper than the 99s that the Lexus dealer were selling (same mileage too).
