IMHO, it is mandatory that Toyota either:
a) cram in the 1UZ [V8] (? Forgive me, I'm fuzzy on the new engine codes.)

or:

b) put in an FI variant of the 2JZ [I-6] with at least 300 hp and 280 tq.

On a related note, isn't this current chassis going to continue ( with new sheetmetal) for the Mk2 Altezza? And when is that car due anyway? 2006? :dunno:

And while they are at it, they need to fire their tail-light designers. hfawk:

I'd be overjoyed to see Toyota hook up with ItalDesign or Fabrizio Gugiaro for the new Aristo and Altezza. :thumbup:

I know, it's wishful thinking...but the styling of the new models is heading downhill ... Fast. :a:
