jevansio Posted August 29, 2010 Author Share Posted August 29, 2010 Jay mate, are you seriously thinking about getting rid of the Supe for that. Log off; go to bed with a hot chocolate and start looking again in the morning. What about this, facelift, black, cream interior, I'd come down on price on the Supra for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edge Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 I have always wanted one of those seats where the front bit extends from the seat The M5's do that. What about this. Lexus Ls430. Ultimate quiet ride and reliable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsween Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 On a serious note Something on the cheaper/different side http://pistonheads.com/sales/1859423.htm PS i'd have the RS4 Avant any day of the week over anything else mentioned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Toyotas, but feel Lexus hasn't yet reached the point where it has the brand image that its competitors do On a serious note Something on the cheaper/different side http://pistonheads.com/sales/1859423.htm PS i'd have the RS4 Avant any day of the week over anything else mentioned Don't like Nissans, they don't do anything that the outgoing cars (911 Turbo/Supra) don't p1ss all over them on.

jevansio Posted August 29, 2010 Author Share Posted August 29, 2010 L322 I think I don't think that clarifies, the L322 covers all the new shape RRs, the facelift out in '05 may well have had a lot of the niggles fixed as they usually do in facelifts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edge Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Have you driven a lexus LS? Its a seriously underrated motor and unbelievably quiet and smooth and the quality is superb without the nightmares of running something like a rangerover. I had a Discovery V8 and it was great to drive but never again will i own a land/range rover because as soon as you fixed something another part fell off or broke.

jevansio Posted August 29, 2010 Author Share Posted August 29, 2010 Right, i would guess not newer than 05 at £20K ish then Apparently they did fix a lot of issues at facelift (inc the front diff issue), it got a new engine & transmission for the facelift. I've decided if I get one it will def be 05+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a Discovery V8 and it was great to drive but never again will i own a land/range rover because as soon as you fixed something another part fell off or broke. I haven't actually , maybe I should, but I need to have at least a small liking for the looks of the car & unfortunately the Lexus don't cut it E46 M3 Evo X Audi RS4 Monaro VXR Audi S5 TVR Cerbera (reliability issues?!) Merc CL600 Jaguar XK-R Jn any order M3 - Not as good as the Supra Evo X - No way, that is chav central Audi RS4 - Yes, nice Monaro VXR - Maybe, RS4/6 beats it on all counts though Audi S5 - Again RS4/6 is better TVR Cerbera (reliability issues?!) - It's my daily drive Merc CL600 - Already considered, but have been put off from stories from the MB forum Jaguar XK-R - Yeah I like them, it's a maybe The car I'm getting has to give me something the Supra & 911 can't (or it was a waste of time getting rid of them). The RR, RS4/6, CL600, M5/M6 all do that (it's luxury & load space) as well as being a brand that is up there with Porsche. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jevansio Posted August 29, 2010 Author Share Posted August 29, 2010 I have just seen my mate in his new RS4 (4.2 V8) and blagged a go in that. It is very nice inside, maybe too firm, and the seats are too sporty. And it is NOWHERE NEAR as fast as the Supra, I am disappointed, I thought these uber saloons would maybe give me a little buzz It is exactly the same as this (colour and all) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
