Okay, Before you lot start i know it must be a "Age" Thing but i recently carried out some work for a good customer on a Lexus Soarer 4.0 V8. I have seen these cars prior but not took any notice of them until i test drove this one, WOW, What a Weapon. Talk about a Wolf in Sheeps Clothing..... <img border="0" alt="[cwnuts]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions051.gif" />
Well this car is built by Lexus and packs a 4.0 Litre lump in it doing 0-60 mph in approx 6.5 secs as standard. They are so so smooth to drive its un-real. Pure Luxury <img border="0" alt="[cwsmokin]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions036.gif" />
I am looking at buying one now as a second car, I am looking for peoples opinions on this car.

Post you views below please.........
Couple of them in the UK do 200mph+.
I'd have one tommorow, hard choice between the V8 and the Twin Turbo.
Personally I think they look best in silver.
I definately would
Its to big and sensible, but being an old timer scooby, i am sure it would suit!
lol
needs 20inch chrome rims and tints an our laffin <img border="0" alt="[cwhappy]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions038.gif" />
Come on peeps, i need more opinions to help me decide......
The 4.0 is far superior to the 2.5 Twin Turbo as it is a V8 Engine, Purrs like a kitten.....
Feedback please <img border="0" alt="[cwnuts]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions051.gif" />
It actually looks really nice, plus its a Lexus!!!!
Pimp mobile m8!!!
Good choice....
i think if you want somethin different sensible, comfortable but still with a bit of pace then you cant go far wrong. Ive never saw one but from what you've said it does look like its got a pretty decent spec and it save syou using your scooby for everday stuff.

Urgh
i like it, its subtle and sleek. thing is though, its a 4litre......my dad had a 4litre cherokee and he had to fill it at least twice a week. if money's no object then go for it
They apparently do 22 - 25 mpg around town and 30 ish mpg on a run, I run a Scooby and a Landrover Discovery so i am used to high fuel costs
Saying that i am only getting around 20 mpg from the Scooby..... <img border="0" alt="[cwrumad]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions050.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[cwclocks]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions033.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[cwclocks]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions033.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[cwclocks]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions033.gif" />
thats sick
Wots sick ?? The car or the fuel consumption ???? <img border="0" alt="[cwnuts]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions051.gif" />
the fuel consumption! just think, about a half/two thirds of what you pay for fuel goes to the government. i hate filling up when that thought's in the back of my mind.
Just not you !
That's all i'm saying...
Paid a deposit for the Lexus today, Travelling down to London in the morning to collect it, leaving at 4:00 am to avoid the bank holiday traffic hopefully ?????
Will let you all know what i think when i arrive back home tomorrow after some catch up sleep !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The car isnt really me, however there is somethink about the car that has really got my mind going, Couldnt just have this car without my other toy's.........
(Raptor Quad, Impreza, Landrover Discovery & Speedboat) <img border="0" alt="[cwrumad]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions050.gif" />

sounds cool is it an auto cus most of dem r arnt dey
Yeah, Its an Auto (Switchable) with normal mode or sports mode.
That's cool, if it's using the same auto-box as the Supra, it's one of the best fully autos out there.
Just seen the Soarer today, looks nice
