tbourner Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 Nice. How much was it if you don't mind me asking? I'm thinking about one instead of a Supra (when I've got some money!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supragaz Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 Looks a nice stock example. Got any plans for wheels and suspension and kits yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest StevenSheen Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 Why do people buy these instead of a Lexus GS??? Are they not the same but cheaper to insure? I assume there is something different about them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest StevenSheen Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 Oh are these things TT as well....well thats interesting...wonder why they never gave us a turbo charged Lexus over here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garethr Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 Oh are these things TT as well....well thats interesting...wonder why they never gave us a turbo charged Lexus over here... Same reason they didn't give us the top of the line LS (Celsior) and IS200 (Altezza), and performance Toyotas like the Chaser / Mark II / Cresta and the Caldina.

Seb Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Same reason they didn't give us the top of the line LS (Celsior) and IS200 (Altezza), and performance Toyotas like the Chaser / Mark II / Cresta and the Caldina. You're right about Altezza and the others, but afaik the Celsior and LS400 are identical in terms of engine, but the LS400 actually has better spec - I've seen Celsiors with cloth seats - though you can get the very early shapes with the touch screen sat nav which the earliest LS400s never had.

Bulldogge Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 could somebody send me some internet adresses from performance shops what offers parts for the Aristo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilicos Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 my brother reckons toyota got the name from the word 'aristocrat' any one any ideas strikes me as the sort of thing the japs would get excited about! - but couldnt get away with in europe hence gs300 'Aristo' is Greek for perfect. Aristocrat broken down means member of the pefect state, Aristo=perfect and Cratos=State (as in community/region) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilicos Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Can't beat a good old 3.5 year thread resurrection! Lol, H7ERO just bought my N/A off me and is planning a V8 conversion so was going through some of his very interesting threads on here until he signs back up. I just thought I'd maybe enlighten the Aristo owners as to what the name of their cars mean in response to H7ERO's post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
