An unusual car.........very q ?
Driving to work on the motorway this morning a car comes flying up behind me at a seriously "shifting" pace. I looked at the front of it in my mirror and apart from noticing a Toyota badge I had absolutely no idea what it was. When I got to work, one of the lads reckoned it was a Toyota Aristo.
Checked it out and sure enough it was one of the older versions http://www.toyotaimportsforum.co.uk/aristo/index.htm
It was shifting like $hit of a $hovel. When I saw there were versions with twin turbos it all made sense. Never heard of these before ? The one I saw looked very ordinary....a decent 'Q' car ? Anyone know the actual stats of these ? Whats teh handling like ?

The Toyota Aristo is the name for the JDM version of the Lexus GS model sold here, the choice one being the Vertex which is basically a Supra in sensible clothes as it has the same 3 litre straight six twin turbo engine.
