i'd take the lexus anytime, manual gearbox wins over automatic obviously.

[IWantAnAudiRS6]

I think that the Lexus has a much better appearance, and is stuffed with extras. Is it faster? I know it's more refined!

[Ferrari Tifosi]

Subaru SVX, never liked Lexus'. Plus I like the unique look of the Subaru.

[Karrmann]

easy SVX (i'm an SVX nut)

[Spastik_Roach]

Having an SVX would be great, because i've only ever seen about 2 in New Zealand, and i've seen heaps more SC300's (Or Toyota Soarers, as they're mainly called here)

[Karrmann]

well ive only seen two in person my whole life, one at a party store and one at downtown royal oak parrelell parked

[IWantAnAudiRS6]

In Britain, both are as rare as rocking-horse poop. The SVX I've seen once at Sainsbury's, and I've seen a Lexus SC300/Toyota Soarer once in the richest part of where I live. Still, I think Lexus have only ever made 2 nice looking cars- the IS200/300 and the SC300.

[Karrmann]

yeah overhere you have a better chance of spotting Bill Gates panhandeling then seeing an SVX

[bigkyy464]

i would take the sc300 may not be as fast but i think tis better looking
